Default GWX question about planes detection

Today I was playing and I was at 64 TC, slowest possible without tiring the men, this allows me to watch the TV. Nothin special, exept I got attack twice without warning from my watchmen.

I found some threads about this around these forums, that this can be solved.

My question: Is the detection for the planes "fixed" in GWX and as a consequense was I unlucky or should I search for those post again and start modding myselve?

Any TC means the units jump from one waypoint to another
The more TC the bigger the jump
When you enter the rendering range the aircraft will appear closer depending on TC levels
At 64TC you were probably unlucky as the crew should see them in time at that TC
Try to keep a full green bar on the watch crew
Low light levels will also reduce aircraft spotting times

Greetings mate :p

I don`t want to bother you or anyone from the Gwx team to much, but thinse you replyed to thise threate i adress to you with my personal suggestion for a future update.
Sorry its not easy for me to explaine (cause my English is not so good but i will do my best). I discover a small problem with the detection crew reports, they don`t report twice on a same contact.
For example - i was atacked by free aircrafts - like usuall my wo offiser spot them and i manage to dive and avoid the attack. But affter more o less 3 hourse i surfase the boat and affter 30 minits was attacked again but my wach crew not even react.
I belive the main reason for that is "double report on same unit". I `am also belive that thise is NOT a gwx its a stock 1.4 bug.
Please take thise as a note for me and sorry for my suck writings
