Well done
I installed the mod last evening and my crew spotted a Passenger/cargo at about 5000m at night under good conditions. I was able to get myself in a good position without being spotted. 11K in the books for only one ship.That is the first time I can recall I have sunk a ship in 39 over 3K and I seem to spend alot of my time in 39 early 40's. It is the first time that I saw them and they didnt see me and start to zig zag and call in the heavier guns. When I went up to the bridge I was able to see the ship through the binoculars. I believe that if I did not install this mod my crew would have missed and we would have been 2 ships that sailed past in the night. To me this seems more realistic. I wasnt on top of the ship when it was spotted and I had time to do my thing.

Looking forward to seeing what the sonar operator might do. In my last patrol I was evading a destroyer. I thought I had lost him. I was lazy and didnt check the hydrophone myself and I asked my operator for any contact. Nothing there so I thought I was safe and preceded up to Periscope depth only to hear at the last moment the high pitch whine of the screws. Needless to say I was rammed and sent to the bottom.
