Surfaced detection radius

stashy · 06-21-12, 05:33 AM

I've been searching around a lot and for the life of me can't find much on how far ships can spot you when surfaced. I've just recently gotten to the point where I feel confident in my real navigation and manual TDC skills, but shadowing ships to get out in front of them for the kill is still proving tough.

Are there any general rules of thumb that one should follow during the day/night and different weather states to avoid being seen? I spotted an old SH3 thread on this subject, but not sure if the information still applies. For the record, I use TDW's UI with real navigation and full realism besides no external view and no periscope stabilization.
