In general I believe I am receiving too many contact reports. This explains the unrealistic tonnages I am making even at 100% realism (see my signature). About only 30% of ships sunk are ships spotted by myself.
I believe that some mod should address this, lowering the probability of having a contact report for all ships and convoy, and lowering it even more for ships sailing in enemy coastal waters.
Also the report should contain some degree of inaccuracy about position, speed and route (but I don't think this is doable).
Another question, is it possible to have (in the nav map) no tail for other contacts but still having a tail for own ship?

Radio contacts could come from numerous and varying sources. That said, I find radio contacts in GWX to be almost nill while the stock game had way to many radio contacts.
Playing stock SH3 prior to Grey Wolves and GWX, I found the file in the Silent Hunter directory which included the stock radio contacts set at 300km. I reduced this to 25 - 30km to similate the approximate distance one could see to the horizon. For me, this improved the play of the stock SH3. Never felt I needed to do this with Grey Wolves or GWX.
