By the way, if you right-click on a platform in the editor, there is a button that allows you to get the maximum sensor range for each sensor targeting another in-game platform. Unfortunately, this feature doesn't work. I ran a test with fishing boats, one a bit outside and one a bit inside the TB-23 circle, and both of them shows the 50Hz line. If I remember correctly, both showed at least a dotted 125Hz line too...
You shouldn't be able to detect an SSK at very low speed without nearly running over it; it isn't generating any noise to detect.

In my experience, 688I's and Akulas are detecting each other at about 7-8 miles at low speeds. Akulas are detecting Seawolves at 5 miles at 35 knots. SW is definitely too quiet, both at low and high speed. 7-8 mile detection for SSNs seems reasonable though.

I bet those range circles represent "hard limits" of the sensors, which have been removed in this mod. Detection ranges are much more dependent on acoustics and contact speed than fixed parameters here...
