they did to a certian degree would emit a single when they found allied radar in use but for a while allies planes could home in on the single without using their radar iron coffins goes in detail highly effective if i remember like in one month they lost 43 u-boats so after march 43 it is a one sided fight also by d-day they wasn't many boats left according to iron coffins they was only 6 boats that had The Schnorchel by d-day although uboat net said over 214 were equip with it so if you think about what we lost in the whole world war 2 52-54 boats they almost lost that number in month
