What about surface attacks at night (in pre-radar era)?

They could do that in real life, but it looks like that is very difficult in GWX...

I'm going to change the "Happy Times" stock mission to take place at night, and try that...

Anyway that cruising on the surface at safe distance (>12 km) to arrive along the convoy's expected path, and then waiting fot it at periscope depth, should be the safest tactic. Tried that with my first convoy (in daylight) and it worked!
