Soon there will be a closed test for changes to the detectability settings:
- A ship’s detectability range by air is now equal to the maximum firing range of her AA guns for a period of 20 seconds after her AA guns cease firing;
- The detectability range by air of all destroyers is halved.
This change affects detectability only in situations where enemy aircraft are within the range of a ship’s AA defenses. It won’t affect ships that have a detectability by air higher or equal to their AA range. This system will allow a significant increase in stealthiness for destroyers that turn their AA off: the ship will only be visible from a 1.5 – 2 km range and planes will have little time to set up a good attack run. At the same time, opportunities for attacks against ships that keep their AA on will remain the same.
