Sailing slowly or stopping completely will not reduce a ship's detectability.
Launching torpedoes will not increase a ship's detectability range. When a plane enters your detection range, you will be spotted by the enemy. A ship will not be spotted if there are no enemy ships within this range.Īir Detection: The detection range from the air is the same distance as the surface detection range. A Line of Sight (LoS) is required between the spotting ship and the ship being spotted. This is the range at which a ship will be detected by an enemy ship. The most important value is a ship's surface detection range. A ship is spotted when another enemy ship or aircraft gets close enough to detect it, and if necessary for the type of detection, has line of sight (LoS).
