What I'm interested in finding out about is the effect different types of conning tower have on the AI's ability to detect your boat.

I'm quite aware that your height above the water, aspect ratio to hunter and dived depth all effect how the AI see your boat.

To my mind in the real world the size of your conning tower would also influence your detectability. But is this modelled in the game?

If your not into shooting down Aircraft would it be better sailing round with the smallest conning tower possible? Even regarding active sonar or Radar location, a larger conning tower must provide a bigger reflector for those pings and microwaves.

But is it modelled?

:hmm:
