Really...

I thought it had to do with the spawning/rendering distance, not necessarily ones own sighting distance.

Will give it go ASAP!
Oh, yeah! One day sailing out of Kiel I could still see the lighthouses flashing. I measured the range on the map; it was actually 20km! Sometimes you'll get a "Ship spotted!" message, and when you look all you can see is the smoke. It's almost as fun as AOD was in that regard..."Smoke on the horizon, Sir!"
