About listening devices, The GHG (Gruppenhorchgerät) and later on the Balkongerät were installed well below the waterline, so you could assume that it's possible to hear targets even if you are surfaced. Why shouldn't they work?At least in the game you can if you are stopped or slow speed. The KDB (Kristalldrehbasisgerät) is installed on the upper deck (bow) and can be used only when submerged. I'm not sure how far away you can hear with the GHG when surfaced. The hydrophone operator called "Grosse entfernung" so it's over 3000 meters I think. It was heavy fog so hard to tell the real range.
