Ideally, Id like to know what change needs to be made so my crew is not calling out visuals out to 16km. Even for clear weather. I think a more reasonable max should be around 9-12km, maybe less/more.
Hi! I have been using similiar fog values that sober mentioned (1.1) and it feels pretty good to me. Now my crew calls out contacts when they are about 8000 m away in a clear weather. Yesterday I was approaching Narvik (night time) and suddenly my watch crew spotted English destroyer in the fog and it was as near as 2500 meters! Crash dive and silent running and then listening if they spotted me. And no they didn't! It was just the experience I was waiting for. I like the fact that I personally will spot the ships before my crew. If I'm intercepting a ship, usually I will see their funel smoke or mast before the watch crew.

It would be really easy to make a mod like this, but maybe sober has already plans like that. And I think the values still need testing! But I really like playing this way, it gives much more tension to encounters !
