If you are surfaced in daylight... and you can see them... they can see you too. It Only makes sense.
Furthermore, if you are running fast on the surface and as a result you are leaving a big wake... you are much easier for them to spot... not to mention the maximum aspect ratio of your sub that you are showing the enemy when you are running parallel to them.
Once they have you spotted... it is easier for them to know where to look... and to continue tracking YOU.
All of these things are modded to that effect in GWX and have been for some time.
All of this is covered in the GWX manual and on the sticky regarding GWX sensors here in this forum. Furthermore, in the gunnery section... you will see how warships had more powerful optics than U-boat crews.
