I made that as a custom mission with a veteran DD crew.

The reason I pointed this out is that I also find it kind of bizarra that you can literally close to boarding distance in this mode. How is it that if the boat is 1M deeper running electric that they can pick me up at 1,000M, but 1M shallow and running on diesel I have the stealthiest sub that ever sailed?

It does seem a bit over the top to me even though early war attacks were at night on the surface. Oh, please don't shoot me, but I am going to mention AOD again. Night surface attacks are big part of AOD, but you don't just waltz passed the escorts, you need a moonless, overcast night, and heavy fog. Then, you thread your way through the screen between escorts. You don't see them and they don't see you. Of course, there is always the peril that you will run right into one of them 500M off your bow.

So, what do the SH3 veterans do about this super stealth phenomena? Exploit it until the escorts get radar? Attack submerged and give the AI a fighting chance?

Thanks.
