Basically at silent speeds you may have trouble. Not always, but some of the time. The bottom line is that the game does not portray it accurately, and mods can change that but can't truly fix it.
Something else that gets left out of these "sims" is the fact that the periscope is hard to use at more than 3 or 4 knots due to vibration making the image fuzzy. Running underwater at 8 knots is easy. Seeing anything at that speed is not.
