I've been red on occasions and remained undetected. It must be detectability and not actual detectedness.

Actually, sometimes, I gun to engines to get a reaction out of a destroyer so he'll chase me and we go head to head at 20 kts, I cut the rudder at 500 M and he misses me by a few feet.

Then I set a torpedo for 3.5 m magnetic detonator, fast speed, manual targeting set to shoot straight ahead and get into a flank speed periscope depth dogfight. I crank open my torpedo tube and wait for the destroyer to dogfight himself right in front of me and fire a torpedo under him.

I killed 4 escorts like this before one of them took my conning tower and periscope right off.

Man! The english channel is crazy now.
