Not necessary. Usually, poor sailor´s answer is a short but hard jab. After this, they normally become friends.

Typically, in many games difficulty settings change its action and its interaction with the AI. And since we do not know how realism affects the game, you can nothing assume on this basis.

For me it´s the only testing configuration. And, of course, the help shows indeed few information about enemy sensors: maxrange and maxbearing. No elevation, no minrange, nothing else. Maybe minbearing, but never tested. I can see a correspondence between this helping circles and the data within ai_sensors. Why should this help use another data base? So when these values work, my asumption remains that all other data work, too.

I got these results that all escort ships stopped detecting my u-boot. Even if the u-boot was terribly noisy.

To be honest, i would expect the same result. If they weren´t at "high alert" status (which means you haven´t been detected before) they´re continuing their walk until you get into their sonar range, unconcerned about your noise.

Another thing is, that there´s no ship at all which is equipped with an "AI_hydrophone" . Don´t know for which reason these "AI" sensors are contained in the AI_sensors.dat. Maybe a relict from testing phase or even older parts (SH2?).

Did your u-boat is detected also in silent running mode?

I placed my boat 150 to 200m side offset to the escort´s course. When maxbearing of sonar was 60°, i´ve been detected every time by sonar (and i heard the pings), because of its original range of 1200m. At maxbearing=1°, i was not in his cone at all, so he didn´t engage me. I believe there´s no "supervisor" sonar. I also tested without rig for silent running, because afaik sonar detection is not sound dependant (there´s no sound factor within sim.cfg, in contrast to the hydrophone settings). But I know that there´s an aspect dependant detection of the sonar. Stiebler always uses an aspect of 100m², but in earlier tests, i only realized a difference between bow on and bow off at a minsurface of 50m². I should have repeated this tests, as a have to repeat my sonar detection test while silent running and while ahead flank.
