Let me just say this: GWX is fantastic!! Totally new game.

However.....

Even in 1939, by the time my 3 qualified lookouts, 1 blueman and 1 qualified lookout officer spot a ship on the surface, my sub icon is red.

Last night, I was alerted to the presence of a destroyer 5k out because shells were landing on my submarine.

Now I thought vanilla escorts were near blind and they needed a little vision help.....

..but this is overkill. Subs are small and low in the water. I should be able to see ships before they can see me.

Will this get better when my lookouts strap on some medals or am I stuck with this situation?
