No ships nor smoke on the horizon?

[Tarnsman]

I was intercepting a convoy on the surface on a clear day no fog and noticed this issue.

The convoy did not appear on the horizon. No smoke, no masts, no superstructure. The first I saw of it was a wake -- no ship -- inside the horizon. Then the superstructure revealed itself, then the whole ship. This is not how the world works.

I was watching the horizon in the direction of the convoy because I intended to track the convoy by its smoke at the horizon edge. But this was impossible.

Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

Nope, you don't need to. Just click on the "slow download" button. Login is only for fast download.

Thanks, that helped a lot.
Is there any way to increase the draw distance or visibility distance, because my crew reported smoke a long time before it was visible through my binoculars. Is that common?

Would be good if someone could increase the render distance (like was done for SH3).

Also the render distance of the waves, as when i look though binoculars i can see that the sea is calm at a short distance around me. Even when its stormy.
