Unless of course the weather is crappy. You can ask your watch officer for a weather report. If he reports precipitation or fog, that lowers your visibility range. I run the Grey Wolves mod, and in heavy fog you can't see anything until 500-700 meters! In most cases you can hear a lot farther than you can see. 15-20 meter depth and hydrophones are your friend. In fact, in the U-boat Commander's Handbook, they recommended routine dives for hydrophone checks at dawn and dusk.

Not at all! Real skippers used their nav maps and got intel on ships positions (spies, radio traffic, luftwaffe patrol reports) all the time. Use the tools available to you.
