Thanks for your reply, your tactics sound solid, but the actual problem was something different.
To do something for the game itself so that your watch crew doesen't magigally be aware that enemy is radiating them from beyond visual range. I would understand it if I'd have some radar warning systems installed to my boat.
To be spotted by the enemy radar is not the problem. They should do that, but I shouldn't be aware of that until visual with the enemy or until they start shooting at us.
Earlier (before radar) it was fairly simple proces to overhaul convoys by keeping them on the edge of your visual range and at the same time plotting it's speed and course and possible course changes. Then finally approach from the 0 AOB, dive and slip near or in the convoy and attack. Enemy radar just makes the overhaul more time consuming. Doable but time time consuming, which is not a problem if you have enough diesel oil and provisions.
"You have to realize the U-boat would chase the convoys for days making end rounds. You need to do it also. It is quite satisfying chasing for days. Trust me on that one!!
"
I totally agree with you in this one. Who would let a convoy pass if there would be even a slightest possible for you to attack it? Usually convoy attacks lasts days for me too. In my last patrol I was attacking the same convoy about 4 days and nights and at the current patrol it's third night in a row with this one from Gibraltar.
Anyway, the question remains: is it possible to do something about the fact, that your watch crew have a sixth sense and they themselves works as a radar warning receiver. Be sure.
