What were they doing up there?

TC jumps to 8x = enemy ship sighted
TC jumps to 1x = enemy plane sighted

Problem solved!

I was flying home yesterday to finish a patrol and didn't really care what was happening, so was flying past Scotland at 2048x.

Suddenly the TC stops and I see a red icon right over my boat. I climb up on the bridge and look behind me and there's a carrier task force like 1km behind me!!

Somehow I was able to crash dive and "squeal my tires" to take a snap shot at the carrier as it passed. I missed.

Didn't get hunted though, thank the fog!

Agreed!

Just make those changes to the main.cfg file in your mydocs\sh5 folder. I set all the enemy sighted and critical damage/situation type settings to 1x in mine and I haven't had any such issues.

By default the game is supposed to drop to 8x at a sighting and it often does. Problem is that it often does not and even if it does there is no announcement and if your attention is elsewhere its easy to miss and boom your dead.
