Yeah fog is a toughie to hunt in,weather you have radar or not.You still gotta make visual contact with em to get credit for the kill,meaning you have to be point blank to detect them.However,the fog also gives you the ability to run on the surface while moving into position to attack a convoy.It also can lead to some ROFL encounters.
One time in heavy fog I was closing in on two Warship contacts moving closer to me.So I set up for a visual I.D by letting them pass within 300 yards of me while at periscope depth.I Had Free Camera on,but I decided not to use it here,of reasons unknown to me.Well at 300 yards,I couldn't see it so I surfaced and took my chances there.Well what I had failed to notice was that in the time it took me to move into a surface I.D position,the fog had lifted slightly.I surfaced within 400 yards of Two Nagato Class Battleships!
Didn't know weather to laugh or Rage hard.I raged then,but now I find it funny as hell!
