SIM.cfg

The size of the object above the surface is relevant for visual as for radar. Snorkel!

Submerged for the sonar.

For the night vision frickle the light setting.

The WO will report visibility only according to the 4 entries. He doesn't adapt to the real values day to night - nor waves or speed or bow wave...

Have a single mission setup and adapt your daytime report to the real distances the incoming contact is reported.
His night reports will overshoot the distance according to your settings - and you have to keep it in mind.

I have a variety in my reports - excellent is from 16km down to 12km. But I know the conditions are top.
Bad varies from 3000 to 5500 meters - again, I know it is the 30% condition - and I have to be more careful.

The 5500 visibility may have changed from the last report to the actual contact reported at 3000 meters. I have no problem with that.

There are only four steps available - and I'm only interested in what to expect.

30% might be a problem with incoming aircraft and patrol boats...

Btw - the pump soldier doesn't differentiate between used weapons, but only between u-boat state - prey - stalker - neutral.
He cheers and yeahs now differently, but I'll have to record some proper comment myself some day.
