I don't notice the crew visuals being that good. Even with 1.7 I can see ships thousands of yard through the binocs before they will respond, day or night. You can see smoke sometimes several thousand yards before your crew gives a visual contact. If anything, I thought the crew visuals were off the other way around.

I assume it's like them not giving sonar contacts on unknown targets that you can easily hear, that they will only give a contact message when they can determine if it's a warship or merchant, since they have no ability to report a unknown target by visuals or sonar.

The only time the crew seems to have better visuals than me is in fog. They will spot a ship I can't see through the fog.

When my PC slows down, I can track and get into position by finding ships with sonar and visuals with no help from the crew whatsoever.
