I appreciate that fact Leandros,thanks

Still,it has to be the only viable option next to risking a full surface run,or running at 7m decks awash.Using the Schnorkel would be ideal at night,then lower it in daylight using the electrics as normal.The only problem I can think of with it is the complete lack of warning from warning receivers etc,relying solely on your own eyes and a bit of guesswork as to when you next expect an air attack.

Regarding radar,does it give off much of a signature?,does aircraft radar really become that deadly like in real life?,so that even the smallest raising of the periscope can be picked up?,hope so,after all,this really was the case and must have been a nightmare of a revelation for the UBoat crews,making it practically impossible to do anything later on without being destroyed for it.

Lastly,and this relates to stock only,do you get smoke coming from the top of it in game?,just like you do with ship funnels.I ask because I havent seen the device in game yet,only in a few books of mine.

Cheers
