Interesting topic.

I've just come back from a long absence. I was running Sub command akula again and got disappointed with the detection ranges.
I was hoping that would have been improved in a big way in DW.

I really remember a british submariner saying they picked up the Belgrano from at least 120km away. Could have been 150 as well.

So there ya go. When was the falkland war? I mean which season? I can see pictures of rough seas in my mind, misty weather. Looked winterish.
Just to imply that even in rough weather subs can pick up ships from very far away. Noted that the Belgrano was an old ship, possibly ww2 design.

If DW or any other modern subsim cannot come up with better ranges, then it is a waste of time i think.

Edited : what i forgot to mention is... in Sub command you cannot even pick up a surface ship 50km away. It is just sad.
