Hydrophone question
With my perks, my hydrophone range is 164 kms (radius) with a full sweep diameter of 328 km.
SO why am I only detecting ships at 85 kms? (sample size: 37 separate contact encounters) not including those give to me by radio contacts.

I have purposely dived every 50 kms and rechecked for contacts and then tested at every 120 kms.. at the 50 kms I seem to find the contact a the 80-100 kms notification but at 120 kms i can get no contact on 1st dive then on second dive to contact will be slightly behind me, but I should have got him on the 1st dive because he would have been at a range of 90 - 140 kms

* in between dives for all tests, I travel at full speed then slow, dive to 50 metes turn with a 30 degrees turn to the right and stop and begin hydro search..

Not relevant to this mod?

But 2 guesses on my part. First, hydrophone checks are like how the AI spots you, a percentage chance rolled in a given time period, with heavy bias on distance so maybe at 85 km it's guaranteed. Have you tried reducing your max range significantly and seeing if the range where you detect them decreases? Second, maybe the max range is for large convoys and not single ships.
