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...

yes.
mod-set does not matter.
i suspect that it is a build-in, unexpected feature (think bug) in SH4.

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.

the last few missions that this has occurred, the AOB has been +/- 10 degrees of 0.
basically, we are heading toward the enemy head-on, whether is a convoy or a task force.
the difference being that the TF escort is s few thousand yards more observant that their convoy counterpart.
