So there is a storm going on. U-504 is perpendicular to a convoy. I go into external view (yeah I know, cheater, yeah yeah...) and I see one of the escorts, a Black Swan 4 kilometers away, zigzagging. I hadn't fired anything yet and I don't see how I could have been detected. I have been heading on 2 knots to get to this position. There are 15 m/s winds (yes, 15 m/s), overcast skies, and no precipitation nor fog. It is 19:25 in January 1941, U-504 is at periscope depth heading 2 knots with periscope up. The convoy attack has not occurred yet, mostly because I'm pausing to politely ask what is going on. So, if there is anything I have missed, I would be thankful for an explanation of what it is. Please assist.
