On changing the setting in SH3 Commander for "When Enemy Ships Detected" from x8 to x1 now all ships that are spotted drop to x1. The only difference being that I get no verbal warning from my watch crew when a neutral is spotted which is annoying. In my experience, those settings in SH3 Commander only affect neutral units not enemy units as is stated in the options screen.

When snorkeling in the navigation map station and with a periscope raised, TC will not drop to x1 on visual contact with aircraft. Without Map Contacts On they will not appear visually at all so not using map contacts in the late war will hasten your demise. Radar detection's when snorkeling will drop TC to x1 however.
Using TC greater than x16 and any map zoom greater than the 2500 metre squares when using the snorkel is a recipe for disaster as the threats will generally be on you before you can react.
