That scale is wacky - and explains a lot if it is similiar to SH3/4.

No way a lookout on a ship could see a bows on sub at near 7km in the dark.

One question - what speed was the sub going? Does increased speed increase the distance you can be spotted?

I don't have SH5 (and won't for what looks to be a while) so I am curious.

Max should be maybe 3- 4km out - well outside a good shooting distance - with numbers like that - an elite crew simply NEGATES the possibility of a Night Surface attack. The jump between 2 and 3 is way to big.

Since supposedly this game is more moddable - can those numbers be changed?
