Sea Power | Tutorial #3 | Detection and Stealth

I like when everytime he says "Hold on..." 😁 as if he became the sensor itself.

[@SDsc0rch]

sonabuoy only give a bearing to the sub you need two (preferably more) to get a fix on the sub (Later versions of sonabuoys had active pinging that would get you a range and bearing)

Man, this is bringing back memories, some great, some horrific playing Harpoon.. I know it’s a different (and incoming game) Yah even in early access I am picking this up.

[@mikeplunkett112]

These introductory tutorials are great. Question on the rules of engagement: is it possible to tell an entire formation to go Weapons Free/Hold/Tight or do you have to do each individual platform? In a similar vein, can you set EMCON policies at the formation level?

[@rawnukles]

Right click on any unit in the formation and there is option to change whole formation Weapons Free/Hold/Tight and EMCON/Emit Radars

[@larsweinand4035]

how do you deploy multiple sonar buoys in a row? what key?

[@wombraider7796]

Hold shift when doing it and you can place multiple orders for buoys. Works same with movement orders

[@larsweinand4035]

@@wombraider7796 Thx

[@SDsc0rch]

CGs and DDS should also have towed arrays

Last time I was this early I had money coming to me...

Does the identification asking with the radio work at the moment? I couldn't get it work

[@werecow68]

It requires that the target be able to respond to IFF (some civilian craft cannot) and that the target WANTS to identify itself (enemies will not). In short most of the time you will not get a response from a hostile target. Better to go to information and view what your officers believe the vessel could be.

we need to be able to build sonabuoy patterns, place them on the map and orient them in the real world we would just tell the helo to prosecute and they know what to do

[@burbs1472]

Actually, you can build buoy patterns in the game, just pause it and put your buoy FTPs then hit play again once complete. In the real world, the ASTAC (Anti-Submarine Tactical Air Controller, I was one for 15 yrs) onboard the ship builds the pattern on their console and push that info through LINK to the helo depending on the control mode. Bought the game last night and I've been putting real world experience in the game and it is not jiving. Later to find out, buoy detection ranges in the game is 15nm! After finding it out, I was able to lay down patterns I remember and was able track and kill subsurface contacts.

i have two screen on my computer, is it possible to have the 2d map on my second screen ? i don't found how do that ? thanks for help

[@anjetanjet]

would helis radar pickup those migs?

[@rawnukles]

nope

[@PresidentCamacho24]

Civilian radar isn’t the same as military radar? 🤪

[@PresidentCamacho24]

The enemy will record the time difference between contacts then calculate the speed of the aircraft and determine its one aircraft. You aren’t fooling anyone. smh

[@PresidentCamacho24]

More difficulty = Realism? Nah.
