COUNTERMEASURES
This menu and its options appear as long as Ownship has countermeasures of this type available.
Only internal countermeasure tubes can be reloaded. If you have two internal countermeasure
tubes containing one each of Active and Passive Decoys, all four of these options appear.This is to
permit you to select the depth for the CM. If you Select Active Deep, both Active options disappear
since you now have only one CM loaded, a Passive Decoy. Once you launch the Passive Decoy no
countermeasure options are available from this menu and you must reload the tubes from the Fire
Control station.
If you have two Active Decoys loaded,only the two Active options display in this menu until you
have fired both countermeasures.Then no options appear until you reload CMs.
Active Decoy Deep: Selecting this option launches an active decoy to a default depth of 800 ft/244
meters.
Active Decoy Shallow: Selecting this option launches an active decoy to a default depth of 100
ft/30 meters.
Passive Decoy Deep: Selecting this option launches a passive decoy to a default depth of 800
ft/244 meters.
