Well, 20km of vision is very unrealistic... the distance to the horizon is only about 10km from a VIIC conning tower. However, objects over the horizon can be seen, of course, but 20km is a lonnnng way.

The game doesn't worry about depth... once you are submerged, at any depth, your hydrophone man can do his stuff. The results are the same whether at 25 m in calm seas, or periscope depth in a storm.
