Escorts hear me, or see me at 5 km at NIGHT?... C'mon people that's impossible!!!

[Shkval]

I'm running next mod list:

1. TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
2. TMO_ Metric_SpeedChart_Nomo
3. TMO_25_small_patch
4. RSRDC_TMO_V502
5. RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
6. 1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for RSRDCv502
7. 1.5_OTC for 8 to 5 Aspect Ratio RSRDCv502
8. 1.5_OTC_Realistic Scopes for 8 to 5 RSRDCv502
9. 1.5_OTC_Metric Tools
010. Less Plankton 1.2

As you can see nothing fancy... so the question is how to dumb down escorts a little bit in this mod soup?

Somebody will say I'm not hardcore enough... but c'mon they can hear me at "Back slow" or see my scope at 5 Km at night?

YES the SEA was CALM 4 m/s wind, and there was MOONLIGHT, but newer the less?! 5 Km???!!! That's impossible and it's killing realism!!!

EDIT: Will this one work? Where to insert it? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3542

Well that's strange, TMO 2-5 eased up on night surface attacks. Flooded down to decks awash you should be able to get within 1,000yds. But here is a link to make the AI a bit easier, yet they're still a lot tougher than the vanilla AI.

Edit: Lol, I didn't notice you have found it already, that mod does work well.

I'm saying that I'm SUBMERGED at PD and "Back Slow" , what do they have? MAD? IR optics? And they can still detect me at 5 Km, that's about 5500 yards, and advice is to approach with deck awash?

Yes that will work... If I want to swallow a shell...

Never mind, I installed this mode and now is much better I managed to close to 2300 m to side escort I could go more but I didn't want to risk it. Tomorrow I will try to get even closer... I was short with salvo of fast torpedoes for maybe a 100-150 meters ... slow one's missed big time ...

I would check your mods 6-10 and see if any of them change sensor settings. I run TMO, RSRD and Traveller mods and I can get within 800 yards and not be heard by escorts and I'd say about 3000-5,000 yards with the periscope up during the day and about 2000-3000 at night without it being seen.

Funny, I knew from the title, this thread was going to be about TMO.

[Armistead]

Never have this problem with TMO either, but I do run RSRD, pieces of Travs mod and several of my own. The only behavior about TMO I found a lil much was the active and passive ability in calm water based on speed, so I toned that down a tad, most all other AI settings are harder then TMO. I did edit most of the crew ratings in RSRD up to veteran and many even elite. Will say elite escorts can be a lil tough...
