Just a thought for FORTRSU
Whether it's merchants, or a warship...………. a set of eyes, is a set of eyes.

The trouble with having the AI Visual set so a nearby enemy COULD spot your subs periscope, also allows it to see beyond reasonable distances.....it's the way it is with this game! We can't make it do one thing and not effect something else.

Night detection is the same way. When at night, the most logical thing is the darkness will hide your detection...….it happens to be exactly the opposite! Those parameters are backwards to what they should! Another game behavior that's dependent on a hard coded solution that is actually reversed to what it needs to be. And, there isn't anything we can do about it since the hard coded mistake is set within the game.
