I don't use a 16k environment mod because of my ancient graphics card. If I reduce the Visual range factor to 0.4, will the maximum range at which I can detect aircraft be increased, or will I just have a higher chance of seeing an aircraft which is far away but still within some maximum range that is established elsewhere?

I would think this would be the Visual range factor setting. I havn't tried modding this in a 8k environment. I suspect that in an 8K environment the max sighting range is 8k. I haven't playing in an 8k setting in awhile. IIRC correctly the furthest away I would see a ship is about 7600m. Lowering the Visual range factor may give you 300 or 400 extra meters. Probably would not have any effect plane sightings. I am curious about the visual enemy speed setting. Since planes are fast changing this may be of some help. Though not sure which way to go with it. I suspect in the stats I list if I increased it from 0.2 to 0.3 I might have a better chance to sight planes sooner.

You might try testing it out in a game that you aren't playing as a career.

I like the idea about having to abandon your external torpedoes.
