false alarm, turns out stock uses a detection time of 0.5 as well:

Based on my reading of the (visual) settings in the SIM.cfg file, the AI should not spot the periscope at all ?!?

- Think of the AI as a traffic cop. To get a ticket, you must be in violation of certain rules. Likewise, for visual detection to occur, you must be in violation of certain parameters.
- speed factor in this case means that you must be doing 15 kts or more for the AI to notice you.
- Surface factor means how much surface area of your sub you must be presenting to the AI in order for him to notice you.
- Ive long suspected that for visual detection to occur, you must be breaking both of the above listed paremeters to get a response, but ive not conclusvly proved that. Its either A, or B, or All of the above, im not 100% positve.
- detection time. You must be exceeding the surface and speed factors for this amount of time to illiicet a response.
- Fog/light/wave factors. Think of them as enviormental dampeners, or how much the enviorment handicaps the AI. Smaller the number the less the handycap, the larger the number, the more the handycap.

there must be another setting that controls it.
