In 1943 and later, what do you guys do to survive? I am using U-1149 in February 1944, it's a VIIC/42. I have come under attack several times. I usually just get to my patrol grid and stay there for 24 hours then return to Bergen. The problem is, I always stay submerged with the snorkel up and I'm thinking I would not know if there was a plane attacking me until I got hit. Does the radar warning emitter work at snorkel depth? Or, should I stay on the surface instead?
