Yeah, it's funny sometimes. I can clearly see a ship way out on the horizon through my binoculars but my WO just stands there scratching his rear end. I ask for a range to the ship...and he says no ship is sighted.
 Of course, I understand the ship is actually outside the AIs ability to detect. I also get the same thing with my hydrophone. My sonar guy is really pretty deaf even in the best of circumstances.

I would have put the WO into a tube and used him as an extra torpedo.

I`m having the same problem on my 18th patrol. My WO is usually on his toes, but has missed spotting 2 ships yesterday, and today the only ship he calls out is a Hospital ship.LOL

He....I can't count anymore how many times I have gone in anger to the crew management screen and tried to drag that bastard out of the sub and into the water. But no good, he always jumped back
Then I have also tried countless times to open that damned lock in my cabin and get the Luger, again with no result

Mind you I cant fault him today. Got the call to the bridge this evening to investigate a ship sighting. Spent about 5 mins scanning the horizon to no avail. Carried on for another while and scanned the bearing again and sure enough there was a barely discernable smoke stack on the horizon. He can spot a ship in the twilight at 8000m but not at 3000m in the daylight.
