Default Increased Visual Sensitivity

I stand corrected, the contacts I referred to in the original post were in deed grey not red. I must have had a senior moment!

In the stock SH3 I found a way to increase visual sensitivity. I just tried it out with Grey Wolves by making a comparison with and without the minor change. I used the single mission "Happy Days" submerging a type VII to periscope depth with the convoy at zero bearing. I raised the periscope and made sightings of ships that were furthest away. Using the weapons officers help, I requested TDC information.

The results of an unscientific test were: stock GW mod allowed me to get targeting data at about 6000m+/- with repeated attemps while my small change in a cfg file resulted in targeting data at about 8900m+/- fairly consistently.

Open the sensors.cfg file with notepad at the path SH3/data/cfg/sensors and locate the line visual range factor=1.4 ;0.5 and change it to read visual range factor=0.0001

Don't forget to backup the original file before making any changes!

I believe this will also increase the range at which lookouts will spot contacts as well.

Would appreciate any comments.
