Steeltrap,
The sensors values for the AI are for the most part working.
Ego aside, NYGM have done a brilliant job of making the AI Visual work as it should for all weather conditions where sea state and night effects the AI.
For the U-boat AI the issue for me is to keep the day time range at around 15,000 metres in perfect weather. This represents detecting the ships smoke and/or masts over the horizon.
I can get the night time vision way down, but it always drags down the daytime vision.
For example if I change the Precise Range to 5000 (default 15,500) & leave the Maximum Range at 16,000 and use Visual light factor=0.99 then night = 9,500+ day = 12,500.
On top of this we need to consider the visual detection of aircraft. Currently a NYGM U-boat will detect a Hurricane fighter at around 12,000 metres on a perfect day. This is I feel about right.
If we say OK we can live with 12,500+ metres for ships then we probably will have the aircraft being detected back under 7000 metres....
Hopefully someone will attain realistic u-boat daytime ranges of around 15,000 metres and night time ranges of 5000+ metres.
