Hunting by sound part2 by Bstanko6

[@darrinmartin5731]

Thanks for posting these vids, they are very well made and quite helpful. I actually bought silent Hunter 3 back in 2004 or 2005 when it first came out and had to upgrade my computer to even play it, but up until now I haven't explored the full experience of the game. Your teaching is helping for sure.

Darrin Martin glad to hear it. This is a fantastic game, but can be a turn off to those that do not understand it. I learned so much about u-boats, ww2, and even math from this game. I just wanted to get people comfortable with it and begin their intellectual journey.

Remember there is a switch on the hydrophone console (Lautstarke) to make the sound a bit louder.

[@SH3Bstanko6]

I wanted to add that any mods that change the sound of ships in the hydrophone can affect your ability to count RPMs and perform speed calculations. SO be mindful.

[@Valenorious]

Also make sure you have a slight forward motion while listening and recording the bearing. In this video you slowly turned making the protractor be misplaced for plotting the bearing on the map.

Why does your SH3 look different to mine?

[@SH3Bstanko6]

i use different mods

[@PityDaFool]

Great video but it was a best case senerio. Can you do a video how to hunt when the contact is moving away?

[@SH3Bstanko6]

No need. If you can determine speed of the contact, and its general direction, then you can plan out a course that will put you into a visual frame. You will just have to dive from time to time, to recalculate.

Ricardo Blum glad to hear it friend! I love this game, and wish to share with everyone. Enjoy them.

Hi SH3 Bstanko6. How you doing? I'm curious if the U-Boat depth has any effect in the hydrophones. By now what i've found is that in rough seas conditions at 21~30m depth i get clear sounds and my SO too get the triggers right (20 - 7.5 - 03 - 01 Km). I'm guessing that at the periscope depth the noise of the surface waves lowers a bit the hydrophones effectiveness. Am i out of course in my guess? Does the hydrophones have an optimal working depth? Does thermal layers affect it much? Find no clear answer about it in historicals WW2 / U-Boat sites nor in game forums.

[@SH3Bstanko6]

Ricardo Blum yeah in SH5 TWoS mod your depth is a factor. Not sure about SH3. And no thermal layers in any version of SH series.

@@SH3Bstanko6 Correction, there seems to be a new doing just that. It´s part of the ONEALEX mod

I need a hydrophone just to hear this video bearing 000, range 1 foot.
