A dirty trick to have more useful contact reports (SH3 BdU reports style)

[Abd_von_Mumit]

80-100 km distance is not a bit more realistic than my current 500 km settings. As explained in post #1, U-Boot's radioman had no means to estimate range to contact, he could only roughly estimate the bearing to it. So a radio message intercepted by a single U-Boot was of no use at all (unless read).

Thus I'm not worried about science-fictional ranges of sight. These are not to simulate my radio guy ueber abilities. I changed them to simulate BdU, in other words - to turn a useless feature into one that adds playability and a tiny bit of immersion.

I think it's game. It's driving me nuts. I edited the mod config to try to change it (details: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...6&postcount=23). Didn't find the proper option for "silent radio interceptions". WOuld be glad to ohave one though - I want the TC be dropped to x1 upon detecting a contact withing the range set by user.
