What's written is correct, but maybe it was a little ambiguous. What we're saying is that without any changes, the AI might not classify (and engage) a target until it's at half the range a human player would have detected the same contact. That's why stock AI is so easy to pick off. AI sonar sensitivity is boosted so that their detection/classification/engagement occurs at ranges comparable to a human adversary.

This is an older change--it probably came rather early in the 3 series.
