Thanks for the input-

I picked 30,000 yards out of the air because that is a general maximum capital ship range (yes I know German 11" naval rifles had a range of 47,000 yards), and in the case I mentioned I had no idea What or Where I was being fired upon from- so, if I detect a warship on sonar and later need to surface, I'll chart a Long deviance before I surface.

In my example, my sonar was clear and my scope was clear, and I was 5.5nm from last the last known warship position when I surfaced-- but apparently that was not far enough.

I'll look up that TMO AI mod, though I don't want to dumb it down just because I thought it was "hard" for the 8 hours I've been able to play.
