I always test in 1939. My Watch Officer does it as well, and I've never had a radar warning device on board. I've also noticed that when you get closer he stops doing it, so I think Jim is right, as is the GWX manual. That said, I sure wish it would stop.

Also, I've noticed that the rest of my watch crew never says anything anymore.

It is certainly an environmental mod mix! I have this problem only with the above combination of mods, but I didn't have the time to check it through!

Hmm..there are some misunderstandings... sorry for my bad explanation and poor English.

In previous post, I would not say "SHIP SPOTTED" bug could not happen "on verge of visual range" or it could not happen in 1939 with non RWR equipped boats.

All I want to say is this bug could happen not only "on verge of visual range" but also conflict between Eye ball and Radar signals.

I just wonder the first one should be called a bug, because in RL, if you lost contact with your target and then find again, you would say "Ship spotted
agin, sir" or something. it's quite normal to me.

But, when the aircraft circling around and strafing on your boat in a clear sky and calm sea, the Watch officer still replies" No visual contact" doesn't make sense to me. it's should be called a BUG!

And It's OBVIOUS this bug could not caused by "on verge of visual range". in fact, if you click the "Nearest visual contact" icon again and again, the WO replies direction and distance intermittently. of course it's far WITHIN visual range. like 1000m or 1500m in a clear day.

if I remember correctly, I've encounterd this BUG(the watch crew lost their contact intermittently even in far within visual range) at first time in GWX 1.3 in late 1942.
Now I'm using GWX2.1 with OLC2 and some small mod, the BUG still persists. so as I described privious post, I bet that this could be stock SHIII bug.

but, yeah,it's only a hypothesis that the BUG caused by conflict Eye ball and Radar signals. maybe due to wrong mod order or corrupt file or somethig. I'm not sure.
anyway, displacing radioman from his station works fine for me so far.
