Weapon Display
The Weapon Display allows you to see what weapons you have selected and how
many are remaining.
The top line of the display shows which weapon bay is selected. To change the
selected weapon bay, press B.
The second line of the display shows the weapon carried in the selected bay and
number of these weapons remaining. To fire a weapon, press X.
The third line of the display is the weapon status. This can be one of the following:-
READY - the selected weapon is ready to be launched
ARMING - the selected weapon has just been launched and is arming itself
EMPTY - the selected weapon bay is empty
DAMAGED - the weapon systems are damaged
The final line of the Weapon Display is the sonar status. Press S to change your
sub’s sonar mode. You may choose between:-
OFF - sonar systems off
PASSIVE - passive (listening) sonar on
ACTIVE - active (echo) sonar on
If an enemy torpedo is launched at you,press D to release a decoy, then carry out a
hard turn. This should allow you to escape unscathed.
Sonar Cross-Section (SCS) Display
The SCS Display is a bar scale running from left to right which allows you to see the
amount of noise you are making. If the display is black, you are completely silent.
If it is yellow, you are making some noise and you risk enemy detection. If it is red,
you are broadcasting your position to everyone in the immediate vicinity. To keep
your noise level down, you must run slowly and use active sonar with extreme care.
Damage Status
The eight bars below the SCS Display represent the status of your sub’s primary
systems. The bar scale is entirely green if the system is undamaged, yellow if partly
damaged, red if heavily damaged and black if destroyed. See Damage Status in the
next section for full details.
