In my case I'm not hugely bothered about ship sighting distances.. although it would be nice to be able to spot ships/smoke from further away.. in a sub you have to get close anyway, as opposed to a surface engagement where 8k is short range already.
I just don't like sailing past a big fat mountainous coastline and not being able to see it 5 miles away! At least the 16k mod extended that to 10 miles. In reality 20 miles would be more accurate on a clear day but them's the breaks..
