If you mouse over the enemy base a popup will come out and just below the base name in the popup is a numeric fraction. Like 9/10. As I understand it, the higher the fraction, the more accurate the info. And the more accurate the bombing runs over the base will be to some extent. Recon missions over an enemy base is invaluable.
For TFs, Naval Search or direct observation by your subs/ships or even land units is needed to raise the D/L. Signals intelligence can also provide a small boost to the D/L.
The D/L is reset to 0 at the end of each turn but there is a "Maximum D/L" figure kept in the background. If the enemy unit is detected again next turn, the MD/L modifies the DL by bumping it a bit higher. If the enemy unit is not detected for several turns, the MD/L goes to 0 as well.
I haven't found any developer input on the amount of info on the number of the D/L and the detail provided at that level, so I go by personal observations.
IME, numbers 0 to about 3 will tell you there is something there, but little additional info.
Numbers 4-7 might identify the type of unit or TF, how many men or ships, and perhaps the direction it was moving when it entered the hex it is currently in.
Numbers above 7 will start to provide ship types and then their names. For a CV TF it might show the number of aircraft or even the breakdown by fighters, bomber types and auxiliaries (float planes).
Detection level is very important for setting up naval battles and carrier clashes. If one side has prior D/L on the enemy before first contact in the turn and the other side does not, the initiative goes to the side with better intel.
