Question about hydrosonic

[Pvt_Numnutz]

Hello fellow capitans. I have a question regarding hydrosonic search (I think that's the name) 

I am a cruiser Capitan that really enjoys escorting BBs, be it shooting down planes, adding my fire to theirs or aggressively engaging a destroyer. Typically when I see a destroyer coming in for a trorp run or popping smoke because he has already launched and slipped into detectability, I hit the hydrosonic not only for myself but also to assist the ship I'm escorting to better react to the torps. However I'm not sure if my vision of torps is shared with other ships even if they are in close proximity to mine. 

 

So my question is, if I am say 3-4 km from a BB I'm escorting and engaging a DD that is launching against said BB and I have my hydrosonic running, will the BB see the torps when I do? Or will I have to warn him in chat?

I am pretty sure that any torps spotted are spotted for anyone on your team within render range.

Concur with Zim.  I see torpedoes at long distances in all ships, provided they are spotted by ships or planes close to them.

Yes, your sonar will share the torpedo intel. The 2.5km spotting range is super-helpful on escort cruisers since it is equal to or better than Vigilance against all torpedoes.

Cool thanks for the info guys, on my higher lvl cruisers the AA is great but boy do I love my Omaha and kuma, they are the bread winners in my fleet. I am glad that I have been helping out, recently in a few battles dispite routing the DD and spotting the torps for my BB the BB didn't turn and was hit pretty hard, I can now chalk this up to poor situational awareness on the BBs part. Cheers.

NP always happy to help, you will notice at low tier especially people are not very aware especially of torpedoes, they got tunnel visioned on a target and forget to look around.
