Ships not spotted though at VERY close distance..

[Vorfluter]

Hi all,

I recently made my way into an English harbour at night, yeah. But the anchored ships either did not appear at all an the map/target notepad or appeared only at very close distance when I almost ran into them.
Why don't the ships appear on the "system" while I'm able to see them very clearly through the periscope?
Is this a common problem, do you sink these ships without identifying them?

Thanks,

Vorfluter

P.S I'm running SH3 via SH3 Comander with the GWX 2.1 Mod

Welcome aboard, Kaleun Vorfluter!
I have never had a problem like that. Though at maximum ranges or low visibility, sometimes you see them on the map and on the peri or the other way around.

Hi Brag,

it's really strange if you're almost ramming the ship while you don't see anything on the notepad.
To be clear: I can see the ship with the periscope, but nothing on the map, nothing on the notepad.

Sometimes, a ship is finally spotted after a few minutes, sometimes not at all.

See you,

Vorfluter

I am not sure but check the setting in the difficulty level before you play. If im following you, i think the problem comes from realism lvl from god eyes mod?!?!?!/ Anyone correct me if im wrong

[Vorfluter]

Hmm,

well, I've never installed something like a "god eyes mod", is it part of GWX?

Currently, these mods are enabled besides of GWX 2.1, they don't seem to deal with visibilty issues:
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - No Medals on Crew
GWX 2.1 Mission Orders

I am not sure but check the setting in the difficulty level before you play.

What do you mean exactly? Realism settings?

Thanks,

Vorfluter

When you have opened the menu side of the game just before you start loading the career, on the lower, right hand side of the screen there will be a realism settings button.
