Greetings.

Im using M.E.P. v3

Usually I can spot targets almost -before- they noticable in hydrophone... (by me, not the hydro trained officer, when he finally find the contact, I usually so far start to ID the ship...)


It doesnt bothered me til now, couse I cruised in clear weather, and told myself: "what the hell: maybe they are right, and I can see more far than hear with hydrophone.." but now its 00:16 o' clock, and I can barely heard the faint sound of a medium speed target. I gave it a try, and what do you know:

In attack periscope, in 10x zoom, there are the little thing, with his tiny smoke....

Come on, its nighttime... And periscope depth...

HOW the HELL can I spot a ship in 11km or more?

Can you tell me how to fix this, so I can see only as far as the weather, and light environment let me?

I dont know how far you can see a ship's smoke in reality, but I try to find out, and play it like that.

But in starlight night, even if its clear, Im -sure- I cant spot a ship from periscope depth in like 11km distance...

Can you help me, how to correct this?
