Immacolata:
You didn't say what the weather was for your approach in mid 1942.
In good weather, you ought to see the convoy before the escort radar spots you (but don't forget that Allied radar gets better as the war progresses!).
In mild weather, it is a toss-up as to who sees whom first.
In bad weather, the escort radar will definitely see you first.
If you are being red-lighted on the stealth meter in good weather before you see the convoy, then the explanation might be that you have been sighted by an aircraft. Did you look for one?
Stiebler.
[I got sunk yesterday, having forgotten that the crash-dive now goes only to 20 m, not 80 m. Just a reminder to everybody.]
