YMMV, I guess. I haven't been sunk by a surface vessel outside of the Med since August 1940.

Ditto. I'm now wondering about splitting recharging into two or more sessions.

But in bad enough weather, the planes won't even be flying. In real life, using the snorkel in bad weather was very trying for the crew. Seems like the snorkel is of limited value. (And when I get it, I won't be running at more than 6 knots with snorkel raised. It would break off if you went faster. An added bonus is that this should make it harder to be detected.)

Always. However, it seems to help me avoid being bombed only about 1 time in 8.
