Blind watch on bridge?

It seems the watch cant make the connection between smoke on the horizon and ships

. Though they are quite good at seeing thing is pitch black night when you cant even see them.

Correct.

I don't know about the smoke, but I also know that sometimes my watch see things that I cannot see. Also the (simple) watch crew!

@ Von Hally: And now we are waiting for your good results! Gute Jagd!

RAFAEL-

Those masive iron beasts are so close i can smell the thick acrid smoke from their funnels!!!
Many thousands of tons will see the drink!!!

Thanks for the encouragement....though the vision of these monsters are encouragement enough!!

never got so close to a convoy before....decks awash definitely works!!!

only prob is...unlike some with great rigs...i cant play and be online at same time....too demanding on my spec....so no update till tomorrow!!!!

Oh, well OK.

I play and use alt+tab playing and writing right here. Now I am 25 meters deep, silent running. Nothing can happen to me.

Be careful, do NOT go too close. The convoy has escorts! And their intention is to sink you with all your brave men.

Using the GWX 16km mod, I've noticed that on a clear day I can see ships over 12,000 meters or so away. But no matter what weather or how well trained they are, the watch crew can't spot things more than about 8000 meters away in perfect conditions.

Just the way the game is programmed, I suppose.

Be careful..might be a Bernhard in the transfer office..he transfers the worst of the worst to you!

i get this alot with aircraft, my usual notification that they're there is that my time compression suddenly drops and goes orange.
i usually hit f4 at that point ant use Mk1 eyeball cause the watch officer wouldn't see a ship if he was standing in the middle of a fully loaded dock...
