Full realism; no mods: Works in SHII and V, haven't played SHIII...too scared. In SH II it is Johnny Walker in Tay off Greenland and is brutal as the scenario is in total fog, high seas and radar and two FATS, set long-12,500 meters and slow, are indispensable. The approach from snorkel depth to surface repeatedly to reconnect the radar sweep (1 turn only) and a swift resubmerge from gun fire is the only way to close the convoy targets in that one. Even at 200+ meters on 1 knot silent approach, the Tay can find me. The way to avoid there is to rise as he passes with blow ballast(really fast) when sonar hears the cans coming and race into the convoy in the fog surfaced before he can turn, regain and chase you down. The difficulty makes it one of my favorites, especially as the air cover back to Lorient is severe too.
