  I think that normally swimming on the surface & under the water shouldn’t make sound or splash, but sprinting across the top of water should make a splash & some noise, but sprint swimming under water should only make a subtle noise.

  It makes no sense for dinos on land to hear dinos swimming underwater, glad to see this suggestion. This would drastically improve aquatic gameplay.

  I highly agree with this. Sarco being a good example the perfect ambush predator when it comes to water yet you will hear him coming before he even gets close.

  i would just like to add that i believe your right and the Sarcosuchus has no real ambush ability being so loud in the water all the time however, currently if you swin at walking speed or using precise movement in water you make less noise, i think the audio system of movement in water should be changed to be based of distance to surface, so for shallow ponds, rivers or lakes it would make it difficult to ambush beacuse of the amount of surface splashing required to breach the surface and ambush prey, conversely on deep lakes, river or ponds where the shore drops into deep water quickly if the predator in question rises at a slow pace the volume of the breach is greatly reduced, or sprinting to the surface, the volume is lesser than if the water was more shallow but greater than rising slowly. of course this would apply to any playable dinosaur and i think it would enable certain dinosaur's especially the aquatic ones to travel at the bottom of water silently.

  The Sarco is so much fun to play, but so frustrating to ambush on. It needs to feel more powerful attacking from the water, with the ability to drag someone in, or to have some form of bonebreak to then catch the prey. Currently a Sarco feels more dangerous on land.
  
  I play on realism, and sometimes wait upwards of an hour for a target to hunt. If they don't drink in exactly the place that I lay my ambush, I am forced to tap movement keys slowly in order to remain silent while repositioning, which often fails as it is so slow, they have already moved on. It really breaks the feeling of being an ambush predator.
  
  Perhaps a simple fix for now would be for sprinting while swimming to make the noise, and not sprinting to be silent.

  You can already swim silently but you need an analog controller and you swim very slowly. Obviously that’s not available to all and I agree it should be possible to swim without a workaround. I also don’t think it should be an ability it should just be for normal speed swimming. If ‘sprinting’ then noise is acceptable. That’s my ten pence worth anyway.

  the answer is simple the sarco must not make noise in submarine mode. already the sarco is the ONLY SEMI-AQUATIC to lose its stamina under water...
  Nazario: even is sprint it should be able to be silent for the simple and good reason that the edge of the banks has no bottom and that sarcosuchus is forced to spin on land before reaching the prey.

  Now we have a totally silent swimming sarco which is better. But it should make some noise when swimming on the water surface at high speed!

  Great idea to add special characteristics for each Dino. This is a must for being an ambush predator.

  No. Absolutely not. You cannot hear then when it's underwater. But I do think they deserve the ability to drag something into water. Because it's a croc.

  They should also remove that splash animation because that makes no sense either

  All Semi and Full Aquatic dinos should be swimming beneath the surface with no audio clues from above. It's gimmicky and diminishes the effectiveness of aquatic predation.

  I love playing as the sarco, but it’s very underwhelming its charged bite can be heard across a river and the grab is so unrealistic slick scales,feathers should not be a thing! Sarco should be able to pick up pigged things and needs to add a death roll ability as standard.

  When you sprint it SHOULD make noise in the water but creeping up should be silent.

  This is already implemented for Sarcosuchus, our aquatic ambusher. Thanks for the suggestion!
