I have a test mission using an Elite V&W destroyer due north of me @ 10kms range moving at 5 knots heading straight for me. I am surfaced, at all stop, facing due north also (to provide very little surface area for them to see). Time is midday (sun directly overhead), no clouds, no wind, no waves. At what range should this V&W destroyer be able to spot me?

I think you should leave the visual range as it was in stock, that was pretty oke. Range depends on a lot of factors, ship height, weather, crew (elite or nubs), sub speed and direction .. it's a pretty delicate balance there. I never felt any trouble with the visual range, but with the AI reaction...

Btw, is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog_(weapon) is still exist in SH5? I saw it last time in SH3, never since.
