Possibly a bug with the distance scale

Well hopefully this can be fixed. Would hate to not be able to play at 1:1.

Admittedly it could well be me being rubbish at the game

good find!

this explains why I feel now my sub is getting easier to be detected, or the game became harder with all the latest patch,
even I always on 1/3 speed and Shift-s and on the other side of the layer when I get detected.

now I will try again with distance scale 1:2.
thanks Tinman764.

killerfish should make a detection probability setting in the game.
If I have done all the all the right thing: 1/3 speed and Shift-s and on the other side of the layer, I should not very easy to detect.
while now, very often, some plane or helo always drops torpedo right above me and I do not know what I am doing wrong.
after a few times like that, this game ceases to be fun.

I hope Killerfish fix the issue with the 1/1 distance scale. I'm enjoying the game but I think the engagements happen too quickly with the shorter distance scale.

Has anyone tried if this is still an issue with 1.04?
I wouldn't mind driving all the way from the base SH style, so even 1:1 has barely long enough distances, really don't want to have to use 1:2 or worse

I tried it, I got instantly engaged at 15 ky before I detected anything.
I switched to 1:2 and reloaded the mission, now I could creep up on them.

In Campaign 68, v. 1.04, elite difficulty, I found a Foxtrot at about 4 Ky, me in a Sturgeon. I shot 3 or four torpedoes at soviet sub and he never found where I was (many of the time at different side of the layer, moderate in that case). I play at 1:1 distance scale.
