16km atmosphere

Hi guys,
a litte question about this optional MOD in GWX.

Is it only to extend the visual player up to 16km?
Or it improve the visual acuteness of the watch crew as well?

Tnx 4 answer.

Effectively everyone gets x2 from the normal install. Most say the 16000atm is more closely to real.

OK guys, I got it!

BUT...
in real life a watch crew in a sunny day with a very calm sea shouldn't see more to 16Km?

Just a reminder: The 16kmod will use a considerable and additional amount of resources than the default 8k.

In real life it is not as clear cut. In ideal conditions the watch crew would probably see beyond 16k, maybe 20-25k depending on how tall the ship is, or how much smoke from the convoy. The higher the watch position, the further over the horizon they can see, assuming very clear visibility conditions. Watch on a battleship would probably see another battleship out to 30-40k. 16k for a uboat is a good compromise, and much more realistic than the stock 8k.
