Sonobuoy drop patterns

Post by Darren_H_slith »

What exactly causes the ASW planes to drop sonobuoys in the patterns they do in the game? Is it purely a random "tripwire" hoping to catch a sub unaware, or is it based on a detection? I can't find anything on it in the manual or FAQ. Sometimes seems a bit wasteful.

Ok, I feel a bit foolish, but I found the issue. My nice large rectangular ASW corridor had been turned into a large irregular polygon. The triangular part near SW England, and the Irish coast was being filled with sonobuoys nowhere near my fleet. Guess I'll restart! Doh!
