During the night you are almost invisible. I did a little test: I passed 500m from the Hunt I destroyer, in oposite courses (ahead slow). Then I increased speed to ahead flank, turned after the destroyer, followed it and overtook it, almost touching it. They never knew I was there. It was May 40.

I've thought about being spotted for the periscope because there was no other factor accounting for ownship detection: periscope depth, engine stopped (thence enemy hydrophones should have been silent), about 1000mt 20° AOB, 5am: the destroyer at that distance suddenly turned on the lights (but why?, it's not that I went with active sonar pinging
, ... I swear ...gramophone was off), shot a flare in the sky and charged at me full speed
maybe I agree with th **** happens option
:
BTW were they asleep on the destroyer you chased ?
are we playing the same GWX SH3 and the same settings? (provided it may be of relevance)
