Exactly the same issue brought me here, while using 720.
Snorcheling my way in a XXIII from Norway to the Scottish coast got a message that my radioman detected radar signals, hauled in the snorchel went to 90 meters, changed course and get pinpointetly pounded by Catalinas the whole day.
How deep do i have to go for not be spotted by planes and also my understanding of the radar waring reciver is that i have way time to countermeasure when radar signals are detected and not get "made" on the first glimpse.
Another thing is the submerging times of the XXI and XXIII boats.
I recently read that the main leap in submarine technologie with these boats was their ability/purpose to travel large amount of times submerged (up to 3 day with batteries on 5 knots) but i cant do this in OM even if the batteries whould hold on this long time the CO˛ levels prevent it.
Shouldn´t the snorchel also take care pf the CO˛ levels?
I don´t want to tick somebody off, just asking!
