Yeah, the actual problem may be the flotation physics. If you go to external view in rough weather the hull sometimes appears to be above the surface, even when the depth gauge is showing 19 feet or whatever. I'm watching the wave rise to the bridge coaming, depth gauge shows 22 feet, wave height is (visually) 10 feet below the radar dish and the hand icon goes dark.

I thought one possible solution might be to activate the radar periscope at the start of the war, but trying a BALAO career start 1944 there's no option for it. UpgradePacks.upc shows;

But with the 1944 BALAO career start there's no option for a radar observation scope.
