Hello.....

Does anyone else have an issue with the watch crew not reporting visual contacts? The green bar is full and whether there is time compression or not, the watch crew doesn't spot ships that I can see perfectly fine until it's too late.....

I was moving along in heavy fog one time trying to find a freighter and the time compression was at 64 or 128.......all of a sudden I hear a loud boom and the boat has crashed right into the side of the freighter!!!!

The watch crew never called out the contact.

Other examples include not calling out destroyer contacts until they have put a shell or two in or around me......is there something I can do to prevent this from happening? Thanks.

Edit: these situations above don't "always" happen but they happen with enough frequency that I think there might be an issue somehow somewhere.
