Help with Sensors.dat for maximum 16 km here.

Some test. If you are on the water surface, and look through your Periscope, you can lock on a target 15 km far away.

I let my sub sink slowly at zero speed dive. The Periscope stayed locked on at 15 km until I sunk to the magic 10 m depth switch over from above water to underwater status.

Instantly my Periscope range to solid lock was reduced to 6 km maximum.

If I lock on a target outside that range, the ship will show as a grey box on the map and fade away. it still looses lock after 2 seconds further than 6 km.

This number must be somewhere else. I changed the 6 km in Sensors.dat for Periscope to 15.5 km. There must be another value that is set for 6 km maximum for periscope while under water state.

Oh, by the way, you should use the RF_Detect2 Mod to make your RWR work correct again. The RWR passive radar detectors ranges are increased in proportion. But they need to be hex edited in the same Sensors.dat file since they both share the same file.
