VERY FAST = 25+ KNOTS.



RANGE.
LONG RANGE = 3-15 KM
MIDD RANGE = 1-3 KM
SHORT RANGE = LESS THAN 1KM




VISUAL RANGE.
(him spotting me)

CLEAR DAY = 10-15KM
ROUGH SEAS GOOD VIS. = 8-10KM
ROUGH SEAS BAD VIS = 2-3KM

(make sure i am barely able to see him
whilst flanking.)



note: i am not sure how night visability is worked out. maybe i can make this a four part chart with someones advice and experience.
Thanks for the input mate.
I have decided to make some reference cards for my game mounted on thin card,the visibility ranges are going to be my first.
I notice you can see shadows at 10km?.Do you have a mod that extends vis ranges beyond say,9km?.
