Watch crew problem

r_wagner · 05-08-06, 04:12 PM

I am running GW1.1+NYGM UC with a 16km (night and day) mod on my SH3 and I had a rather unpleasant incident with my watch crew the other day. Patrolling in the BF sector in absolutely clear and still weather in the middle of the day (summer 1941) with TC on 256 i get the message "warship spotted" with the appropriate prompts.

I start thinking "warship on the horizon" but it turns out that this destroyer is only 3km away and already firing at me...

Since TC automatically drops to 1 when the watch crew spots a ship I can only conclude that according to the game calculations, the watch crew could only spot a destroyer at 3km away in perfectly clear conditions which sounds a bit ridiculous.

Anyone else had this problem with inept watch crew and is there a mod to make this more realistic?

(My crew was not fatuiged nor was morale low)

Thanks
