I would like to be able to use the external cam on a few tests to get a feel for how visible I really am in various conditions. I wish there was a way to go to a distant position, pull out binoculars and do try to see the sub. I often wonder whether I'm not spotted because of crew inexperience on the enemy's part or because the sub is really that hard to see.

I will definitely practice the decks awash technique. But it would be good to have a feel for how close to be when it becomes necessary, and when you're too close to even be that exposed.

I have yet to make a surface attack, except an early war shot at some docked ships.
