Looking over the stock code the veterancy level is already accounted for.
This delay is basically already coded in. The signal strength returned from the function that checks to see if sensor detected any contacts is used in a random number generator. The value of the random number is the final decider as to whether or not unit detected any contacts. If they didn't then there's a game timer that has to expire before contacts are checked again to see if they are detected.
