Detect presence of sub - without seeing it!

weylin	If you try to retreat when a sub is near - even if it's not detected by anyone - It will tell you that an enemy is too close. If there is no sub around, you get the popup asking if you wish to retreat. A player escorting the flagship did this on a hunch, warned the flagship, even though the SS was undetected the whole way over, the flagship avoided death through this. 10 seconds later the SS surfaced in pursuit of the flagship, but just out of reach of them. Flagship would have died had the escort not done this.

LILITALY5179	"FF and DD detect SS. CL and CV detect SS with a sonar. CA has limited SS detection with sonar. detection range depends on: Overheat, level of sonar, ect." Sorry but there are some flaws in your logic here. CA's cannot under any circumstances detect subs on their own. Sonar only works on CL and below and CV. CA's can detect them with escorts but not on their own.

mako089	Well you know it's in the area but that's it.

KingCong	You guys are missing the point here. I isnt like I would want to retreat or have the wrong fcs, ammo, setup. Lets say I am in a AA PCA covering the BB line and a sub was scouted heading this way earlier. Just checking if I can retreat can give me and everyone around a heads up that sub is near. Now, thing is, taking advantage of a known bug to do something the game did not intend to do is the definition of exploita.

Mor_idin	better yet, remove the "retreat" option completely :P

tipsypo	The "enemy in sight" at least in my experience has never alerted me to a submarine that is submerged and not being picked up by my asdic. I also do hope they remove this, just exploiting a glitch in the game.

weylin	Would this explain my rookie saying "Enemy ship in sight!" Even though there wasn't any enemy visible at the time?

cpt99117733	You guys do realize that the "enemy in sight" will often detect submerged subs

quietcos	Recommended. I didn't think of this. But only recommended because it's good to know, not because it's good to use. Hopefully SDE will code this out of the game, because it's kind of like glitching if you ask me. (I'm not saying it's cheating, but it's not the way the game was designed to be played).
