Destroyers Discussion (getting rid of pin point drops)

easy fellas, easy...

@cb
i've played around w/ extensive changes to the ai_sensors files using the mini-tweaker, and haven't managed to get the results i'd like -- specifically, long-range detection w/ hydrophones (check the 1st page, escorts could hear a sub at 6kts at about 3000m -- the numbers are for us subs, and don't specifiy the listening conditions, but in the abscence of hard data its all we have to go on at the moment.) and more distant pinging eg 1800-2000m.

i've tried all ranges of sensitivity, from 0 to 1, in increments, and didn't really notice that much difference. dropping noise factor allows the escorts to hear you from far away, but then they can hear you at silent running from pretty far away, too. i can live w/ that -- my point is that i didn't really see much effect w/ changing sensitivity in sim.cfg. just want to save you some effort.

could you re-explain the bit about an .act file refering to sensitivity etc? where do we need to change sensitivity to 0 to get the program to use the sim.cfg values? like i've said, i can't hexedit worth ****e, but if someone could supply me w/ a suitably editied file, i'll gladly test and tweak further.
