Is this correct or i should go get some math sessions?

It doesn't work that way ingame I'm afraid.

Where in the files is 4mm used as a direct influence or indicator that the 10% efficiency saving is dependant on thickness?

The sensor parameters were tweaked to give an equivelant effect of a 10% reduction in the chances of detection under certain variable conditions.

Eg: Under test conditions an escort detects the U-boat at 400 metres....after file adjustments and under as near identical conditions as possible, the U-boat isn't detected until the escort is within approximately 350 metres.
