yup if your suffering from uber DD's --stop playing the single missions and start playing the campaign--that's is really about it---if your suffering from useless DD's do this


just start with a stock AI_sensors.dat

and make two alterations--

one-
REDUCE all the hydrophones max distances by 4000 metres--so if it's 6500 as stock reduce it to 2500 metres--do this for all the hydrophones--

two-
INCREASE the minimum distances for all the hydrophones to 1000 metres--

three-
use these sim.cfg entrys

four--
reduce the maximum revs for the electric engines using the mini tweaker by 30 to 50 revs per minutes--i reduced mine to 250 rpm max--

and that's it--
