Obviously, I don't mean talking to you but some game logic explaination that he tilts his head and squcks 3 times if there are 3 enemies in a direction.

There's a distinct possiblity that perhaps Dayek doesn't even have eagle vision at all. It seems that though everyone has the potential, not even all assassins have unlocked eagle vision. For instance, EV was something special Altair had that not all of the other assassins did.

That is possible, but it's less exciting and creative. Assassin's Creed is primarily science fiction, but thematically, it's meant to have healthy doses of fantasy as well. It's called Eagle Vision, something that has always been supernatural and phenomenal to us, and for Eagle Vision to be literally reduced to nothing at all would be bland and kind of a betrayal of its mystique. It makes more sense that if this is a novel, distinct form of Eagle Vision that there remains some fascinating element about it rather than just a simplification of an eagle reporting back to you.
