I can see ships, but the crew can't

Hello gentlemen, have been away from SH for a while. Right now I'm just running SH4 1.4 stock. In light fog ships have to be closer than 450 yards before the crew or auto lock spots them, although I can see them. Sometimes it's as bad as 350 yards. Earlier today a destroyer was bearing down on me with it's searchlights aimed at my periscope at less than 1000yds distance and auto lock still failed to see it, this was with light fog about 0400. I could make out the ship and obviously the searchlight. This just doesn't seem right. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and how to correct it? I remember being able to lock on targets that were so far away they still couldn't be seen, at least in SH3. Is SH 4 that different?
