Had the chance to test the snorkel in heavier seas. You are picked up faster , than in calmer seas, due to the fact that the snorkel is more exposed in the (valleys) of the swells. So for aircraft you are a intermittant target that they can still home in on. Just takes them a bit longer is all. I used both periscopes for visual spotting. Helped to get a few extra extra seconds.
Bottom line get the snorkel fix.
