Sure, its quite possible to do that but is it realistic in the U-boat war to be spotted from 11k away? I played TMO religiously until SH5 so I know it well.
Is it realistic to always be detected? No matter what you do? Because in TMO you will never be able to sneak into a convoy undetected. That is never, and I challenge anyone to show me a video convoy with ELITE escorts and sneak in undetected. IN the interest of making TMO extra difficult I think the whole submarine purpose (stealth attacks) was defeated. In real life u-boats could and did fire torpedoes before being detected.
I played more TMO MP than anyone here, hands down. I know TMO was hard, and I like a hard game too.. But his stuff was unrealistic when it came to convoy attacks and AI sensors.
Is it realistic to have your scopes spotted from 11km away?
When it was sub vs one dd his mod would shine. But having 8 escorts coming from each corner of the convoy detecting you at silent running with a depth 300 ft? I don't think so.
U-boats ate convoys alive, it was not uncommon for "one" boat to sink 3-4 freighters in one attack.
