Quick question on visibility range in GWX

By the time the PC drops to low TC to tell you contact spotted the ship is a lot closer

Thanks for the response - much appreciated!

I use high TC when cruising to destination (max set to 4000) - when intercepting or in a search pattern I try not to go over 512-256. I drop to periscope depth or 25 m and slow down every 2-3 hours for a quick listen.

If it was in low TC :hmm:
IIRC Rubini ( sp ) released an alert watch crew mod which may help

Thanks! I have promptly installed the "stay-alert crew fix" - I hope that improves it a little without tipping the balance too much in my favour

As to map contacts they are supposed to be from a variety of sources
Convoys in GWX do not travel a straight course and as such regular dives down to check sound contacts is always a good idea to make sure you catch them

Yes - I've noticed those zig-zagging convoys, it's a much better challenge than in SHIV where they go in a straight line most of the time.
