Default radar range

Hi everyone!

what would be the approach to lower the allied radar ranges (and mine) to give me a slight chance of seeing the enemy (in the 8km atmo, my computer is too slow for 16km ) before I'm detected by radar? I'm asking because my current campaign is in the med (97% OLC GUI 1.2.7, with no sub on map and stellarium navigation ) and calling in air support is not an option when you can't visually detect the enemy.

thanks,

berobispo

try deck awash cruise!

I often do that when I'm approaching ships at surface.. I'm in '41 now and I was able to get close to a DD at 4500m without being detected (at dusk)!

Are you playing the game with GWX3? If so, early war radars are less effective than late war radars thus allowing you to approach at a distance of 4km or so, as far as i can remember. Later on, as the war becomes tougher, you will not be able to approach at a distance shorter than 8,5km , approx. (it maybe more). It is generally a good idea to stay at the edge of the visual range and follow your contact from this distance. Try to avoid being detected by radar. Destroyers won't let you go easily. At least, thats my experience.
