Ahoy shipmates! . I'm a bit of a sucker for realism and I'm trying to make the SH3 experience as realistic as possible. I'm on 100%, I have GWX3, dead is dead, I've found a way to give new crews different names (I was starting to have dreams about the ghost of Adolf Carlwitz) and I'm only eating bread when it has a healthy white coating on it. I've trawled the forum and elsewhere on the net and found a pile of info about U boats but one thing I'm still a bit unsure about - Did commanders periodically submerge their boats to listen for contacts? I can understand them doing so if they already had the scent but on the off chance? Would they really have done this every hour or so?
