Safe Distances/Depths?

Harald_Lange · 02-07-12, 09:03 AM

I've searched around but I cannot seem to find any documentation about safe operating ranges. For example, things like:

How close can I get to a target without being seen on the surface in calm/rough weather at day/night?
How close can I get to a target whilst submerged at ahead slow/ahead standard?

Now I know these are a little 'how long is a piece of string' but I was wondering if anyone has documented anything like this, just as a starting point.

The main reason for asking is that I'm constantly trying to increase my realism setting and things like this are, to me, still complete guesswork.
