Just started a campaign mission july 1943 out of Bergen.
Grid AF79, medium seas, daylight, good visibility
Surfaced, visual sighting single hi speed DD @ 6500m, CD to 50m ahead std. Icon green Ship continues on course
Climb to PD & set rudder to make a circular pattern in frt of DD path
2500m distance increase speed to 7kts-icon green
1000m raise periscope-icon green
700m ahead flank/surface the boat-icon green
DD continues on path and I leave the area on the surface
***
Grid AF78,medium seas, dusk, fair visibility
Running surfaced at 8kts, ship spotted @ 7500m.DD approaching brg 325
I stayed surfaced this time no evasive actions just to see what would happen. The DD crossed my bow @ 5000m and continued on
***
Grid AM, medium seas, morning, good visibility
Surfaced 8kts, hdg 270
I'm patrolling area where convoys converge to enter British ports.
5:14 detecting radar signals-icon green
5:21 ship spotted brg 330/hdg NNE-icon green
2400m distance-icon starts to dirty up a bit
2100m distance-icon red
2000m distance-icon fluctuates red to green(DD is now directly of my bow hdg 000 continues on course)
1700m distance-icon red DD continues on course

At this point in time I'm thinking someone painted my boat with an invisibility coating. sort of like Harry Potters's invisibility cloak. Enemy is not even noticing my boat on the surface much less at any depth or speed.
Even tho the icon turned red and stayed there I did not get a "we've been detected" message

At this point in time I'd say that the escort AI was at least capable of detecting me on the surface in your single missions pack even tho their performance left a lot to be desired .
Please advise of any changes I can make.
