In real life it is not as clear cut. In ideal conditions the watch crew would probably see beyond 16k, maybe 20-25k depending on how tall the ship is, or how much smoke from the convoy. The higher the watch position, the further over the horizon they can see, assuming very clear visibility conditions. Watch on a battleship would probably see another battleship out to 30-40k. 16k for a uboat is a good compromise, and much more realistic than the stock 8k.
