Spies from the Shadows - Buff

Old version:

The crows found in the world can communicate directly with you.
50/50/75 % of the time, cawing Crows give you a visual cue when you are within a 16/24/36 metres.
"In the shadows they torment, scarring our minds with each scream."

New version:

The crows found in the world can communicate directly with you.
50/75/100 % of the time, cawing Crows give you a visual cue when you are within a 20/28/40 metres. You no longer trigger crows. -/-/Survivors will have a 100% chance to trigger crows when crouching nearby.
"In the shadows they torment, scarring our minds with each scream."

Spies from the Shadows is currently bad because of the rarity of crows, and the low chance to trigger them, especially if you crouch. My revised version of the perk increases the range (to make up for the lack of crows) but makes them reliable to hunt, providing survivors don't try to avoid them.

    The main problem with SFTS is that the crows have to "get disturbed" aka fly off to have ANY effect.
    The original version of this perk checked periodically for an alert whenever a survivor was in a certain radius around crows.

    My buffed version helps with that issue since it guarantees a survivor will trigger a crow if they are close enough, even if they crouch. The fact it's situational is also what keeps this perk balanced - after all, it pinpoints exactly the location of a survivor, which can be extremely powerful.
