actually, i think its good if the game is tougher, vanilla SH3 and the first couple GW's were way to easy IMHO, even on 100% realism later in the war

Sorry, been there done that in RL and I will not agree that the norm is a DD spotting a surfaced submarine in choppy seas at 8k yds with whatever vision was available "reasonably reaslistic". Not saying it couldnt happen, but the variables are too many, and the numbers dont stack up. In a calm sea, I would agree, but never in a choppy sea, and not consistantly.
I can deal with that issue better then the scope being spotted at almost 3 miles in a choppy sea. I'll give you a test, take an 1-1/2" piece of Black pipe 3' long stick it in the ground, get back about 2-3/4 miles sit at a bench and use 50x binoculars and see if you can find it. then when/if you do, stand up and see if you can find it while standing in footing that doesnt move. then try it again in a moving car! good Luck!
Sorry I stood lookout on a surfaced sub and can assure you that visibility on the open ocean is tougher for the big guy spotting the low profile small guy.
I really wish I could take you out there and show ya!
In any event its the only thing I disagree with, and regardless of that i still stand firm that GWX is a top nothch mod deserving credit beyond words.
