Nope I also said that you can't make good use of your radar since the British could detect it. That would mean that you will attract a lot of hunter / killer groups while the convoys evade you. Without radar the fleet boat is more vulnerable to planes (as long as the planes don't use radar since the fleet boat can detect it too) because of the slower dive time. And once you are detected by British ASW vessels (I think after sinking some of there merchants they know that you are there
) the bigger size of your boat makes you also a bigger target that (usually) doesn't dive as deep as a u-boat.
