Paradox, can we get a confirmation that you are looking into the Naval Spotting issue?

It may be a feature, but it is not working as intended as now navies can't find each other to fight. It has been reported several times, on all possible combinations of live and open beta patches. I'm not asking for a fix, I'm just asking that you let us know you are aware of the issue.

This needs more attention, navy oriented play is completely is ruined.

would advise to up vote the bug itself https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/hoi-4-navy-cant-find-enemy-navys-or-convoys.1500244/ Believe we already got a lot of people asking for a fix in there (and have seen many more bug reports about this issue)

Thank you. This may explain why I have had issues convoy raiding and have seen some weird holdouts where they shouldn't have been able to supply an army from one port...only to find out my subs can't find anything.

I think a work around is having a few TACs / CAS / Naval bomber in the area.

One of the long term problems with naval spotting is that a single high spotting ship can literally be better at spotting than an entire group of ships - because the spotting value is averaged across all the ships in the group rather than taken as a sum total.

I wonder if they are trying to fix that issue?
