ORIGINAL: HailRider
I've been trying out the Scenario Editor, switching from side to side, to see how changing depth changes being picked up on sonar. I am using the scenario Maria & Victoria.
I found that even if I teleport the units (both sides) to deep water where a CZ exists, the boats will always pick up the sub when the sub enters the sonar radius, even if the sub is below the layer (even at max depth). Why is this? I've been trying this for quite a while, and I just don't understand. I thought the sonar would bounce off the layer and not pick up subs below the layer, except when directly above the sub. I checked the boats, and they do not have sonar that drops below the layer.
Any help would be appreciated.
I think by 'boats' you mean that both vessels (both sides) are submarines at deep? I probably could tell if I had the game on this computer by plugging the scenario in, but I do not, and cannot recall that scenario.
Generally speaking the way you describe thinking the SONAR should work, is correct, but there can also be a lot of variables. It is therefore always a good idea if you think you spotted something weird, to attach the save game so the devs and/or others can plug it in and see if perhaps there is something really strange, or if there is just one of those other extenuating circumstances, in which case often a "neutral" eye can see that faster than the one playing, where sometimes you can develop tunnel vision based on what you are expecting to see vs what you are seeing.
