And about game - lower profile working. But don't know about watch and radar, because used it only twice during attacks and watched ships through UZO myself. And i still didn't get radar in SH5.

yes a low profile was very important, and most of all torp attack`s was made at dark night`s from surface, but instead of running decks completly awash (like in the screenshot above), they trimmed the sub very low in the water, and depending of the current seastate, the deck was awash then more or less ...but more from waves. Please take also in account that SH5 vanilla trimm is way to high, i use a special deep realsitic trim (also where the stern lays deeper than the bow) together with a more beleavable pitch and role behavior.
there is a translated "
SUBMARINE COMMANDER'S HANDBOOK" ("U.Kdt.Hdb.")from 1943 aviable here:

...not shure but i couldnt find any taktic regarding "decks awash" there, maybe it is because the text is from 43.... but ithink (attention, here is a "if" comming) ->
if<- it was a common taktic in earlyer years, they would have mention that this is not in use any more.
