This didn't seem to be consistant with my results from the campaign I'm playing, so I did another test to be sure. A Pelmidia TA detected the second line of a 3-knot LA at 1.5nm.
Well, now I am not sure about the detection ranges, but do have one suggestion. As far as I know, the Kilo and Kilo-i are very similar, with the main differance being a new propellor and better quieting equipment for the Kilo-i. At low speeds, wouldn't these differences tend toward zero? Perhaps they should have much closer starting sound levels, but give the regular Kilo a much steeper sound-speed profile (rough example: change the Kilo to start at 56 and increase sound level by one for every knot).
I think I'll just learn the calculations for detection. Now where did Jamie post that formula?  |
That sounds reasonable to me.
So, Amizaur, if you're listening, how bout a real low starting NL for both Kilos, but the Kilo-I's curve is a bit flatter than the regular Kilo?
