Being able to spot a periscope from several thousand meters away? Err...that better be only with close to a mirror like surface. Actively looking or not, the watch crew is still made up of humans, not supermen.

Bad grammar on my behalf. When I say "may occur" I meant that
A. there is a chance it may a actually happen, but not a definate
B. that it may occur up to 2000+ metres.

In game with the NYGM AI Sensor Mod the detection of the periscope has several considerations such as:
1. Current location in relation to last detetcted location (or where the AI thought you were)
2. The height of the scope
3. The time the scope has been up
4. The Alert Level of the AI
5. The sea state
6. The u-boat speed

In real life it was for the most part, not the physical scope that was 'detected' but the wake that it produced.

I hope this helps.

Yep it does, thanks for explaining it in more detail, it sounds quite a bit more reasonable now.

I'm currently using GW but i'm seriously considering getting a second install with NYGM, sounds like it would be quite a challenge.

I think you would enjoy it as the NYGM TW Mod as it is aimed at replicating, and I feel that we have for the most part acheived, the difficulties that the U-boat's faced.

Replicating? Heck yeah. My first NYGM 2.0 patrol had me come runnning for help on these boards, because I couldn't get away from a very angry flower corvette. A FLOWER CORVETTE! I had to be given a few pointers about the new sensor AI, as well as reread the spotting thing. Getting CLOSE to attack range is a challenge now if you think you can do it old style.
