I was surprised this was modeled in the sim but have learned that SH 4 is a bit more complex than initially seems.


I don't have enough experience in the Atlantic side of things to comment on how this plays out there, as may be modeled differently etc . Long and Lat do effect visual sensors as well have been told and noticed, fog comes in to play as does the light. Ah, the complexities of SH 4 lol.

what you state seems to be true in the ATO, also.
most of the time when we patrol in the North Atlantic we can find a therm at a very shallow depth, sometimes 20 m.
never find one of those in the SW Pacific.
in the Pacific, therms are rarely found above 200 feet, some as deep as 300 feet.

fog is another matter.
even "light" fog masks visual contact to 2 or 3 nm, which is really, really close. This is effective for both sides.
We can detect by radar-detection or radar so i must assume that the verdampt British and Americans can do the same.

in the ATO, Coastal Command aircraft can detect us via look-down radar through fog from a great distance....maybe 25 km, and come directly at us.
