I dont know, I sunk lots of ships in GWX while being on surface.

U-Boats have a lower silouhette than most surface ships of course, so in early war you can sneak close to them on the surface. Note that warships in later years have radar.

I good fix of GWX is that AI doesn't automatically know where you are if torpedoed. I noticed this on merchants outfittet with searchlights......BOOM....and immediately spotlighted me....

GWX now has fixed this and this is also some kind of human factor speaking of the panic thats caused by a sudden torp hit on a ship at night. (imagine getting waken up by an earthquake at 2 am.."aaahh....wtf????")
