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

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

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

They always do.

This is what I made sense of

Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts=500 ;[>0] kilometers

You don't have that much fuel to frett all over the ocean

Display Range To Important Radio Contacts=1000 ;[>0] kilometers

Keep note of these

Decay Time For Important Radio Contacts=86400 ;[>0] seconds

24 hours is more than enough

Decay Time For Opportunity Radio Contacts=86400 ;[>0] seconds

24 hours is more than enough

i could never understand why the precise contact only lasted 1 minute but the imprecise lasted 10 minutes lol, shouldnt that be set differently?



Decay Time For Imprecise Sensor Contacts=600 ;[>0] seconds
Decay Time For Precise Sensor Contacts=60 ;[>0] seconds
