At night, a U-Boot was invisible if there was no moon in the sky. If there was moonlight, the U-Boot was nearly impossible to detect if its hull was turned towards the ennemy, or if the moon was behind her.
Just my 2 cents... |
Quite true!
(Not literally invisible but close enough). I read of one account where a U-Boat officer could actually see a cigarette in the hand of a sailor on a ship....he and the other merchants in convoy had no idea the U-Boat was even there.
I agree that the SH series often underestimates how bad merchant ship lookout keeping was. SH3 should have provided different visual sensors for merchants/warships and different phases of the war.
