Gee, I hope you're wrong about that.

Weather and daylight affect detection of your surfaced boat, so why wouldn't it work the same with something smaller?



I play RFB and some mods made for that, and I have never had the weird scope spotting stuff. If I did, it sure would ruin my enjoyment of the game. The only thing I've noticed about RFB that I thought was bad, was the enemy's ability to spot torpedoes. They can spot them 20 to 40 sec. before impact, even on a dark night; kind of like what Webster said about the scopes.

I also have doubts that they are detecting you by visual means - it is certainly odd.

In one case I kept the scope down and tracked the target on passive sonar only; didn't matter, same deal.

This would seem to rule out the scope; but then how?



I just remembered, I have had a few undesirable incidents with RFB. It has happened that I've been bombed by aircraft while well below periscope depth. I did some tests to confirm this, and found they could sometimes see me at 200 ft. Could it be that the sensors have been altered to the point that they could "see" you through the water at periscope depth?
