Hold up. Let's just nip this in the bud before it goes any further.

I took a look at the sensors.dat file that comes with RSRD. It seems to be concerned with German U-Boat equipment. Here is a screenshot.

As you can see, this has no relation to US fleetboats. I'm not quite sure what this is doing in RSRD but I am sure Lurker has a good reason for it being there. This file does not affect fleetboats.

The files that affect fleetboat sensors are all called 'Sensors_sub_US'.
RSRD makes no changes to the 'Sensors_sub_US' files.
Things are not so easy. I know that sensors.dat has a contents related to german uboats, but then doing changes to Sensors_sub_US files did not produce any result at all. I eliminated completely the visual sensors from that file and still get visual reports from the crew, so I started to think that the subs could be using another file. In that interim I noticed that RSRD also ships a sensors.dat file, before I left this evening and posted here the brief comment that has caused this stupid controversy, because I was unsure if it could have any relation (F.e. if the game defaulted to that one) and wanted first to know if people were using also RSRD over RFB before trying to replicate their problems in my own install.

Further testing suggest however that the visual sensors could even be hardcoded, because I simply eliminated them from the SNS file -no visual sensors at all- and STILL get visual reports.

Looking at the files included in RSRD leads me to believe that RSRD is not responsible for any shortcomings in the visual detection model in RFB.
I NEVER SAID THAT
