I just happened to think (scary) - part of CapnScurvy's "Awards Fix" stuff, which eliminates the easy CMH, is done by changing the names of the awards, which pushes everything "higher" in the level structure, such that the Bronze Star is actually the Navy Cross, which works fine with "normal" assignments... but the game's original "logic" is still in use in the background, with the original names and levels (can't change them, only the renown amount)... When you go back by refusing something, the game then uses the original logic...
- does the Stock game do that though also? I'll have to give that a try some time...

i encounter a task force with elite DD as escorts and approx 15,000 yds they are on me like ants on cole slaw. like pest bees on an open soda can.
this is consistent behavior in each situation. oh, and there are no aircraft overhead, on patrol, in either situation.
why is there a performance difference when the DD's are the same?

The game does not care one iota about "shape", just the total amount of "visible", so there can be differences there from AOB kind of stuff, as well as sea state, wind, speed of vessels, etc. But there is also still an issue with whether you are north or south of the equator, and whether you are east or west of the enemy vessels, as well as which direction they are facing, as well as your heading in relation to them. For whatever reason, sensor sensitivity is affected... I'll see if I can find that thread, but it was a lurker_hlb3 finding a while ago... It was "fixed" with each "update" that Ubi put out, but they only improved on the amount of failure, never truly fixing the issue. I think, again, that it has to be a bad math kind of thing. You used to be able to surface your sub 1200 yards from a DD under certain circumstances, and they wouldn't see you until you opened fire.
