3. No. The snorkel and periscope are the same as being surfaced. It's not just one sub type that sufferes from this "feature". The bug you might be thinking of is the XXI snorkel's tendency to blow out your sonar.
Eek! So you're telling me that when I raise periscope, I am effectively "surfacing" for the duration (at least as far as radar-equipped destroyers and aircraft are concerned)? I take it that if they are trying to spot me without radar, then the lower visibility of the periscope comes into play as it would in RL?
