Hitman of course it's not the same to compare a mountain and a ship at a horizon distance..

I found something that might proove the visibility range in this mod not accurate at all compared to RL:

Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know while standing on a beach the horizon is probably at 11 km away. The big ship is a tall object so it can be seen from 14-16 km max with a naked eye.

Well binoculars might do the trick to see further and this would add +4km to visibility ? Hmm..

And binoculars should be from WW2 time, not the present..
