They're detecting you visually, somehow... Scope up too long. Scope up at too high a speed. Yes, I saw that you were slow ahead. Did you wait until the speed actually dropped off to 3 kts or below before raising the scope? Once submerged, when I raise the scope, it's only to collect data as quick as possible and back down it goes, even if all I see are sonar tracks on the map, but especially once I can see them... Figure if I can see them, they might see me.

actually both TMO and FOTRSU have merchies with sonar.
and yes, they will detect you even if you have snuck through the escort screen. they have the same sonar sets and when you increase your speed to rise above the therm, they will detect you and react negatively to your approach {those bastages!}.

tell me this: were there escorts nearby? did they react just after the merchies reacted?

war is hell. and the guy that said that never left the United States.
