Periscope- Incoming Torpedo Problem

#1
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but when you using the Periscope is there no warming bell or alarm for incoming Torpedos?

I know in the update/addon we all are waiting for there will be more details given on incoming torpedos. But I have been sunk a few times not knowing I had an inbound torpedo whilst using the Periscope.

Having a sounding bell would be good, or a crewmen verbally informing you of it. The latter would be better i think.

I've already rambled on about crewmen voices and how it would increase atmosphere of being onboard a sub or ship in another posting so I won't go on about it.

But here's hoping it will be one of the new features in the addon- :D

I have the Australian/New Zealand version- the distributor being Auran.

I read a thread saying (if my memory serves me correctly) that the Uk version has a sub with a bi-plane flying overhead and the USA version has a ship instead of a sub or something. But on the cover of my game it has a Uboat with bomber releasing a bomb upon it.

I'm guessing I have the same version as the USA release.

However in regard to my not hearing any warning, might be because the fact i have high-frequency hearing loss. I tend to hear bass sounds better than treble, so I hear the engine noises loud and clear and also the alert sound when u get radio message. Perhaps there is a higher-pitch warning sound when an incoming torpedo??

Most games don't have anything for those with hard of hearing ppl, although some have subtitles in cinematic scenes which is great. I can hear most of the sounds in the game- but the engine sound does tend to be over top of everything else.

I have also turned the music down to zero too.

So what i have to do is take periscope down and check all is okay every few minutes when hunting.

Perhaps there will be some new up coming sounds.

Here is the pic of my cover. Which was from the Auran site whom released the game in Australia and New Zealand.

The "Auran" site, had a 13mb patch (labeled as a small feature patch), which i've already downloaded. Adds some new effects and sounds that the US version has, including random missions.

There is a 99mb patch you can download for the Uk version.

Will i need to download this? or will I the upcoming addon/patch

bring everything up-to-date anyway?

Btw: The USA version cover looks better than the UK version, don't you think.

Hi m8 Australian here too :)

And no I think we only got the 13mb patch cos our version was updated as it came out (just guessing here) being a few weeks behind the US and UK versions. And if not then why such a big difference in patch size notify:

I am sure I have heard the alarm for IC torps with my scope up.
