You need at least three, better four, watchmen for a real 360° scan. All the WO does is to give you the range and bearing to contacts.

Ah, thanks!

I reset the "Visual uses crew efficiency=" to true (also for the hyprophone and radio) in sensors.cfg (data/cfg). I wonder why the stock game comes with them set to false? Seems useless to have the green bar then.

Though I'm still wondering why my 4-man watch crew sometimes wouldn't announce a visual sighting even close in good weather? Hasn't happened since I installed GW, though I always have a WO up there, too (since GW changes him to the weather guy).

The watch crews blindness has been a problem since the stock game, it is nothing new in GW. If you look in the old forums, several solutions have been offered; I haven't tried them.
