Personally I rely much more on contact report icons placed on the map. Convoys are reported in radiomessages, and the crew-message panel. But single units or small groups only appear silently on the map. So you'll have to keep an eye on it.
I also increased the range in which they are reported to me: SH3_gamefolder\data\cfg\contacts.cfg
Code:
Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts=750 ;[>0] kilometers
Display Range To Important Radio Contacts=750 ;[>0] kilometers
Normally GWX has it on 250 km iirc. But I suspect the radio would be able to receive much further than that. And I want to make the decision of whether I am in range to intercept them, not BDU.
Aside from that, high time compression can make nearby units skip-jump over your 3d-bubble. Or jump really deep inside of it, with catastrophic results. (if it is a DD) Don't go full TC. Using it to prevent boredom might actually be counterproductive in this instance. |
I have never edited my cfg files, I have located them but don't know what program to use to edit....
Thanks for the suggestion.
