Not true, the smoke from some ships can be seen from miles away, making it possible.

Obviously, I wasn't clear enough.
Even in dense fog, when using the UZO or periscope, and clicking "lock" as you look around, you can detect ships out to the horizon (actually, far over the horizon). This is clearly impossible, and using it is a "game exploit."
You simply cannot see that far unless the conditions are perfect.
I live on a cliff overlooking the ocean. On a clear day, with excellent conditions, I can spot ships 9-10 nm out. I can promise you that the least bit of haze reduces that by half, and fog brings it down to 100 m.
