IMO something in the range of 100km at sea could maybe be somewhat realistic under ideal conditions

Stock contacts appear at any distance on the map. For me, as long as these contacts appear on my Uboat map, it mean something detected them (my radio, some Axes aircrafts, some Spies, etc...) and the information was transmitted to me (by radio, by my crew).
Therefore, all contacts which are more far than a reasonable realistic distance to be detected by my crew (apparently for you, 80 to 100km) AND NOT REPORTED BY ONE OF THE RADIO MESSAGES I HAVE RECEIVED, are just wrong (miraculous divination LOL !!!). That's my first point I tried to explain. Point which has, in fact, nothing to do with TDW mod.
Now, speaking of TDW mod, the detection distance at which accelerated time will be cancelled, can be set to whatever you want by default (in the parameters file) and even changed dynamically during the game. So, it is perfectly possible to set it in the range you said. My point is that ONLY CONTACT REPORTED BY RADIO MESSAGES ARE TAKEN IN ACCOUNT in TDW mod and this is not logical. If my crew detect something, I would like to also see these events braking the accelerated time, so I do not miss such kind of events either.
By the way, this afternoon, I had a contact not reported by radio, at about 100km from me and my time acceleration was reduced from 256 to 32. Who done this ? The TDW mod or SH5 code, I don't know.
