Anyone else find that after the recent patches, the merchants spot you way too easily.
Ex. Night, wind at 14 knots, my boat is surfaced heading 225 deg towards funnel smoke. I get just close enough to see on the map it is a single ship but not clearly enough to make a visual even with a helper. Based on my map plots she's heading about 20 deg. I estimate AOB at about 35 starboard.
Next thing I know, before I'm even fully within clear sight range, it makes a 180 and tears off at fast speed.
This has happened at least twice. No way she can see me in those conditions when I can't really see her clearly to even make an ID on the UZO. I think if I went to periscope that soon, I'd lose the intercept.
Maybe I'm just trying to play this like SH3, SH4 and SH5.
