Intro from new skipper & question about GWX

Hello everyone! this is my first post here

Im new to posting but cerntainly not new to the forum, as i been lurking arround for a while. It has helped me a TON to learn the game basics, get mods, etc.
I recently bought SHIII and liked it so much i have allready put over 50 hours on it in the couple of weeks ibe had it.
I play with all "realism" settings on, except map contact updates, and i leave the event & free cameras on, not for cheating but to look at the pretty explosions.

I liked the game so much i went and bought SH4 and its UBM expansion, but i must say that even though it looks much nicer, to me at least somehow the gameplay is not as fun as SH3 (plus the target speed estimating is broken lol). But thats another story.

I have installed GWX3, and i really like almost every aspect of it compared to the vanilla game, except the greatly increased ability of every enemy thing out there to detect me. It seems one of my crewman farting can make a destroyer 10km away get a fix on me!

Yes, ibe read the countless debates on this issue here on the forum, on how its due to realism, historical accuracy (or not) and what not, but the point is im not training to get my own uboat in the atlantic

i just want to play a reasonably accurate (but still fun) simulation.

So my question is, is there a way i can use GWX3 in all its glory, but keep the detection abilities of my enemies as they were in vanilla?

I assume there are some files somewhere on the game that dictate these parameters, and i could replace the relevant values (or the entire files) with vanilla ones, But i have no idea where to look.

Any guidance/help greatly appreciated!

P.S. One thing i really dint like about GWX is the bearings on my binoculars gone (yes, yes, i know in reality they dint have them), but to me this dint make the game harder, just tedious.
So i made a very simple mod to put those bearings back, its compatible with JSGME.
If anyone is interested in it, i would be happy to provide.

EDIT: reading my own post, my question might be misunderstood. I dont just want the sensors as they were in vanilla, i mean the whole AI. Wich of course include sensors.
