Sorry for yet more dumb Q's...

How do I dumb down the escorts initial detection rates?

For instance. Im about 3-4000 yards away from a convoy. They havent detected me yet. Im at persicope depth in the dark and on silent running. Somehow (before any torp doors are evn open let alone been fired!) the escorts come zigging over to my direction and once close start pinging me!!!???

Ive tested this a couple of times from a save point and still the same! Im running TMO 2.5 with only another radio mod.

I recently changed some bits in the Data cfg, sim files hoping this would dumb them down. Heres what I did,

I changed data, cfg, sim Hydrophone: Detection Time from 1 to 3
Sensitivity from 0.15 to 0.50

Sonar Detection Time from 5 to 7
Sensitivity 0.05 to 0.35

and funally the lose time from 30 to 10.

Im working in the blind and testing as I go. Would the above dumb them down a bit? Or have I made them better? Do I need to make further changes??

Many thanks in advance....

you're increasing sensitivity by factor 7, from 0,05 to 0.35, is normal :))
maybe your cook has dropped a spoon :)

I'm not an expert in the least, but you might try comparing the TMO values you want to change with the values in the stock files. In this way you could make an informed guess about wether they should be lowered, raised or left alone.

Loss in detection time from 30 to 10 = If they don't find you or sink you in 10 mins they will bugger off .

Thanks guys for help. As always theres informed help out there. The comparison idea is cool as apparently the stock is easy so I should be able to see easy to hard.
