While I was testing other changes, I noticed the change in the 2nd frequency had unexpected results on the Kilo's detection ranges (low frequencies are detected first and the Kilo doesn't get the 1st line at 50 or 60). To mitigate the impact of this, I've changed the conventions to this:
Steam Turbine: 100
Nuclear: 125
Gas Turbine: 140
Diesel-Electric: 160
Diesel: 175
Gasoline: 190
With +5hz per shaft (up to three, the fourth doesn't bump it) and -5hz for shrouds/pumpjets on submarines.
Most of the Kilo's adversaries are Gas Turbine powered and originally had 125 or 160hz lines. The move to 140 won't have a large impact on detection range. Diesels will get harder, but these tend to be loud ships anyways (merchants and gators) so the change won't be noticed. I also brought back the 125hz line for nuclear subs with this configuration, since most of us are accustomed to that.
