I am not kidding you. Can you a least try it before dismising me?

You are wrong to tell me it is not working as I said. Have you tried it?

Just set the Noise Factor to ZERO and see what happens. It makes no difference if Sensitivity is commented out.

It does the same thing, but with the Noise Factor, I can set the level of detection. With just commenting out Sensitivity, you have no control over the volume (unless you can decifer the hydrophone values in AI_Sensors.dat)

What I am doing works great/ Why does not anyone at least try it?

It is not a Ego thing, I swear it works for me.

i'm not dismissing you --i have tried it---back in the earlier pages of the thread there is a discussion about precisely this effect-- yes-- as i said the noise factor and the wave factor ARE the most powerfull way to control the effectiveness of the sensors within certain limits--it works---but it has drawbacks that can be difficult to over come regarding sheer gameplay --(depending on what sort of problems your having as stock with your DD's of course to start with)

for me the results were not powerfull enough to overcome the stock convoy escorts lack of alertness and aggression during normal campaign gameplay---but if you are running a sim.cfg set up with only the noisefactor actually in use the rest commented out---then the issue is that by commenting out other the entrys this has a far more pronounced effect than those you leave in---

it's not an issue of wether there is an effect or no--it's an issue of WHY there is an effect---if you see what i mean? i hope? :hmm:
