Passive Sonar, again! - Lethal - 12-01-2021

Hello WP players,

>>>  Original Edited, reinstall fixed the observation.

Passive Sonar has extended range!  yay!

Getting Started scenario, U-Boat fires off active sonar (bright green line), yet display indicates Passive.

Version 4.0.

Perhaps the active in emanating from the U-Boat when it should be from the surface ship (?) 

Anyone else get this?

It does indeed show bright green lines.... however from the manual:

When sonar detects another ship, a green line will be drawn from the ship with the sonar in the approximate direction of the detected ship. A dark green line indicates a detection made using passive sonar while a bright green line indicates a detection either made using active sonar or made by passive sonar hearing the pings of a target with active sonar.

Hi Parmenio,

Thanks for highlighting the "or" statement! (p. 40) All this time and I missed it!

So far, I have been happy with the quality of the update v4.0. Looks clearer as well.

Just need to remember to Inhibit Firing when the U-Boat is surfaced!
