[RSC] SkybuckFlying Players 1,246 posts 31,660 battles Report post #26 Posted August 5, 2016 Yorck hydro Range is 5.4 KM, you get spottet when the Yorck is 5,4 km away by his hydro as you are still behind cover. So yes the Yorck usd his hydro befor it sailed towards you, prbably whe you fired his guns at him, because he knew there would be torpedos But you are reversing and come into view, pop smoke and are out of normal view, so hydro detects you again. To make it short you get the hydro/radar symbol when it is hydro/radar that is detecting you All working as intended Ok, interesting to know that hydro can work/detect even when behind islands ! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] aboomination Players 5,763 posts 16,940 battles Report post #30 Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Playing more cruiser would not have changed a thing, since cruisers don't see that symbol Wrong So basically this thread proves perfectly that by playing destroyer you actually learn something about cruisers ! Well...I certainly hope you learned something. Let's suppose my own smoke blocks my vision ?! The enemy activates hydro search and spots me ?! What happens ?!?!?!?

Distance...... hydro = get a little bit further away and you be fine. Only need what ? 5 to 6 KM ? hmmm... radar = OH MY GOD PANIC MODE !!! ACTIVATE TURBO BOOST, FULL SPEED, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. NEED 8 KM distance or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RSC] SkybuckFlying Players 1,246 posts 31,660 battles Report post #35 Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Wrong Well...I certainly hope you learned something. So are you saying that cruisers can be detected by hydro as well and that they can then see the symbol ?! Well ok... maybe ? But how usefull is that ?! Aren't cruisers like really far away then ?! So WTF ?! How that be usefull ?! Ok I can imagine that maybe preventing broadside might be usefull in that case. I have no idea at what range hydro can detect cruisers ?! As far as I know hydro is for short range detection... though I know it extends detection range for all ships... it's just very hard to tell... if it's working at all and how effective it is ?! It's just whacky... is it me doing the detection or other ships or planes ?! It would take a lot of practice/games to really start noticing it and get to know it well... like being the last surviving cruiser... then you can be sure it was you ! ;) Edited August 5, 2016 by SkybuckFlying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NEED 8 KM distance or something Basically in both cases you'd want to get away as fast as possible or get hard cover between you and everyone who is in effective gun range. If you pay any attention you'll know who is detecting you and what kind of search device that ship has. But whatever, it would be a nice addition to the game I guess. So are you saying that cruisers can be detected by hydro as well and that they can then see the symbol ?! Well ok... maybe ? But how usefull is that ?! Aren't cruisers like really far away then ?!

It takes 2 minutes of reading the goddamn descriptions on the equipment. It does not say "Destroyers only", it does not say "Cruisers/Battleships/Carriers are excluded", it says exactly what it does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then there are cyclones. And islands (detecting ships that way is bs but it is what it is). And ships using another ship's smoke But I'm sure SBF will still insist that radar/h.a.s. is useless vs cruisers/bb/cv.

And with every word you add it's clearer how you always did. They're not bugs, it's just huge gaps in your knowledge and an amazing level of arrogance that makes you unable to understand that better players are telling you what you should be doing, and how things work.
