I'm not sure why I would use the snorkel since:
1) it does give off a radar signal, and
2) I've gotten the "Empfange Funkmesssignale" message ("Receiving Radar signal") 4 times already and every time had plenty of time to dive the boat before the plane arrived. My old XIC took 45-50 seconds to get under, and although that was enough planes would still bomb where I would have been without manouvering. In the XXIII they don't even bomb where I was since I get under so fast.
So why would I use the snorkel since when underwater I have no radar detector?
I dove the boat to test crush depth and started taking damage at around 300 meters. Is this anyone else's experience?
