You can...... IMO, the Japanese have lookouts that can spot you a mile away on an overcast moonless night. The AI cheats.

If you are making your approach in a realistic fashion and keeping your scope down, making only spot checks, running silent, etc, they shouldn't be heading straight towards your position. You're not attacking in broad daylight with calm seas....

There are easier AI mods for TMO and maybe for Stock or GFO too, but I don't know what they are called. I think what you want is here:

Check out this post #1 and the entire Topic:

Right?

Edit:
There is a graphic around here somewhere with an active sonar cone that Ducimus posted in SH4 that he made for SH3 I will try to find.

If that's too easy try these ajustments:
