Another thing, do you know the range of total revealing? I mean, it's the hydrophone range or the watch officer`s range? I reckon hydro range is greater, isn't it? So with total revealing I would be loosing detection range for 15 hours?
The periscope thing is bugging me a lot! It doesn't always happen though.

Total revealing takes Benno longer than finding hidden enemies which is nearly immediate. You must be submerged for total revealing (TR) which lasts for much longer than the hidden enemy function has gone. If, as in a pea-soup fog, u surface to fire with the ships gun the TR will dissipate and u must resubmerge to reacquire. In fog there is a water reflection which actually gives the true location of the target and ship type. do not fire eels directly at the TR position as it is slightly off, but rely on the surface reflection, the ship speed and be mindful of the 300 meter eel arming distance; and when surfaced after an eel strike, finish with the 88 firing blindly at first, listening for the shell hits but ready to turn or reverse when thje cripple becomes visible. Sorry I did not respond earlier but I just acquired this thru hard experience off Freetown in abysmal visibility while stauking the Winston Special. Viel Gluck Kaleun
There is no hydro for what u can see: so in a convoy visibles have no grey line.
