Agree with CCIP, I've never been fired on except visual contact. Usually if ships go into alert mode, their blinker top light starts flashing, depending on mods, some horns.

With a mod like TMO, visuals can reach out fairly far, about as far as radar during the day, 10,000 yards. Usually radar picks you up, you'll see escorts coming your way, u can turn and run and get out of radar zone, they go back to stations.

With many mods radar was set to pick you up at 0 feet, which is unrealistic and one of the air radars worked as a surface. Think tater had a fix for this with TMO, others have adjusted radar height some. Also sub profile has values related to radar, waves, etc., .........stay skinny.

and in bad weather if they have radar, they'll send a escort right up your arse, pay attention if you get in close during a storm.....get the APR.
