I change beam depth angle (vertical angle) , on pasive sensors with angles from 80/170 ......... to 88/100.

And on actives with angles 90/100 ....to 90/95.



Tested only on U-505 stock mission :

They have now more problems to detect me if i do not do any stupid thing.

If i rise my periscope, they prey on me as before.

When they engage me, there are more posibiities to loss contact.

When i made full rudder turns, with them just on my back, some time they can not detect my turns or make more soft maneuvers than before, they looks not so precise as before in this behavior.

Any way they looks so precise even, they do not lose too much, but are not the same than before, i need more impressions to be sure.

If any one want to try, here is the file, it is easy to modify with Timetraveller Mini Tweak Tool.

Try and comment

Nice work

Have you identified all equipment i.e. the stuff i mentioned above. I know this is underwater stuff but do not know if it is equipment or bonus for crew ranks or conditions.

I will be happy if we get just a mere 7 second extended lead on the turn but anything better is a bonus.

I am wary of changes that may make them less able to detect me than now though as I feel that part should be upped if anything. i.. passive ranges.

I will have a bash with it.

My only change is changing Jungmans 60 more to 80 but I suppose oneday I will play the real campaign and come undone by this method.
