Please help, I can't find a specific mod.

Well thoes are the ones you want to change.

Oppurtunity targets are small one or two ships.

Important are convoys and taskforces.

The range reported is in Kilometers.

1 Kilometer = 0.53995680346 Nautical Miles

Now it depends how far out do you want to be notified.

well for those of us not in full inderstanding of a true realistic idea of whats in a reasonable range to be something you would be able to respond to?

in other words whats your max range limit you could respond to something so that we have a better idea what to set something above that.

Well I am going to need a dart board for this one.

In response to Shadowhawk's mod he was looking for that gave as an example 200 NM. Then set them both to say 400 Kilometers. That would seem to curtail the contact reports by quite a bit.

I was thinking of doing it within the big mod I am making just to cut down on the traffic the player could attempt to intercept.

well i had in mind something like 500 km for Opportunity and 1000 km for Important but i wasnt sure if that was too little, but if you feel 400 km is ok for both then i'll have to rethink it

I have opportunity set for 1, because before 1944 you're not going to be getting radio reports about single ships, period. Important contacts I set at 100, because I doubt they'd tell me about anything I can't possibly reach.

When I play German I have opportunity set for 100, because Condor scout bombers tried to keep them abreast of developments in their area, and I leave Important at 3500, because I figure you'll get a report on any convoy leaving port, whether it's in your area or not.

But, as always, that's just me.

Ok then I am retiring the dart board.

well im still unsure what should be realistic to be reported

[ShadowHawk]

I wasn't aware that my request for help would evolve into this whole discusion

I am gonna make a little mod jsgme ready and try and set the distances to
1000nm - 1853km for Important and 500nm - 927km for Opportunity.
I know for myself that I am not going to try and intecept any convoy or single freighter beyond those ranges, the chance of missing them is to great and I could have missed out on others while racing around chasing contacts in the far distance.

I don't know wether these distances are realistic but I could imagine that contacts that far away from you would be transmitted to other subs that are closer to them or allready patroling that area.

One question though......
Could I enable a mod like this during an ongoing patrol or should I wait untill I'm back in port ? I just started my 5th patrol on this career and things look rather good so I don't want to break off this patrol.

Cheers and thank you very much for your great help....all of you
