Just got into port so am in the position to enable a few mods. The 16k still begs the question is this a double edged mod? Though my crew can spot targets are very long ranges can the escorts or lone merchant ships do the same?
Frequently when submerged will have the SO find a merchant at heading xxx, when I pop up the scope there's nothing there; have to stat mashing the L button at +/- 5 degrees of his estimate until it locks on. Then finally hit the target and its 20km+ away or more. I know that you can hear better underwater, but something so far away isn't very useful most of the time when you factor in the amount of fuel you have to burn to get there (assuming its not on your course).
