True EXCEPT submarines bc subs are tough to see, esp at night.Read many accounts of subs coming within 1000 yards of an escort at night and not being spotted.Done this a few times in the game but more often than not they spot me at around 2000-2500 yards, which makes night surface tough to do in a realistic manner and esp with Mark 18 in later war due to its limited range.Read CLEAR THE BRIDGE! by Richard O Kane or THUNDER BELOW they came close, damn close without being spotted.Subs are small compared to most ships and sit low in water, tough to see on surface esp at night as said.
