I just tried OM+Omegu, the mod really looks great,

a (possible) issue I found was that escorts are really having a hard time once I submerge, I found the same behaviour before with RFB

A simple test I did was to play a single mission, a night convoy hunt, 100% accuracy, SH4 1.5 + OM705_715 + OMEGU v210+ hotfix; nothing else added
After sighting the convoy, I closed at flank speed, until I was relatively close (less than 5km) and just shot a couple of rounds at the closest escort. Obviously, he soon start shooting back, and I ordered crash dive.

So, here comes the problem, I just kept flank speed in the direction to the merchants, no silent running and not particularly deep (150mts maybe). I don't know if they launched depth charges, if so, they were definitively not close enough to do any damage. After a while, I went back to PD, still at flank speed, and saw the escorts behind me. far enough to try a quick attack against the merchants.

In reality, I should be in lot of trouble; I mean, by shooting at the escort, I gave them bearing and relatively accurate range to start ASDIC search. Moreover, with flank speed/ no silent running, ASDIC should be capable of detecting me.
