In the j9mod_v3_0201-003 terrain there are big holes and canyons out in water and lots of 'em. And the ships fall into them. Ships that are down in the holes can't get intervis with the ones up on top and visa-versa. Two ships which are down in the same hole might get intervis if the sea bed profile doesn't get in the way. It looks like all the north-south running cell boundaries have such a canyon about 3 miles wide and there's lots of big ones out in the cells too (Check out 31-26N/116-32W for a good example). You can see the canyons in the terrain editor and I've checked the ship positions to verify that they are indeed falling down into them.
Given the size and number of the holes, I'd say we'll likely have a whole bunch of ships in various holes at any one time. So until its fixed, I don't see any alternative other than to turn off the intervis checks on the radars. I'll do that for spiral 2, unless someone objects pretty quickly.
