In short, the instant I could detect him, he detected me as well. I mean it seems to me that a highly outfitted state of the art US sub could detect a submerged ship, or surface ship a good deal away from where THEY could detect you. In my experience, this KILLED my immersiveness of the sim. I want to be able to detect a threat far away, before he sees me.....and use some tactics to stay "hidden" and sneak up on him and fire before he even knows I'm there.

What about this in LWAMI? Is it better? Fixed? (not that it was broken) If we both hear each other at the same time, what's the point of being silent and using range to stay out of his detection zone? I want to be able to sneak up on them. Go deep and outrun them to a spot on the map and wait in hiding for an ambush. Is this possible now? Thanks.

Detection ranges do change with LWAMI, in some cases longer, in others, shorter. Something you have to keep in mind is that detection ranges are highly variable depending on acoustic conditions. What changes with the mod is that the ranges are more dependent on platform speed.

The experience you're describing with stock DW tells me that you were either in horrible acoustic conditions or there's something wrong on your end such as bad display settings. The mod isn't going to change that.
