An example of this is in Molon Labe's "Rough Riders" mission, where a Tico in the CSG detected a biological around 45-50nm away within about 10 seconds of the mission start.
Another example is in the Operation Rough Seas campaign (mission 1). The Ticos instantly detected every submerged contact up to 40nm away.
This was all happening while the Tico is typically moving at 15-20kts. There were no convergence zones (ranges were varied between point-blank and ~50nm out) either. Now I don't know about you, but it seems pretty stupid to have any surface ship travelling at 20kts to detect every submerged contact within a huge radius of it, let alone track the contacts movements AND classify them.
Thanks,

Are you asking us to turn down the SL of biologics?
