I should've specified in game, not in real life. It's awful easy to sit through a DC run in front of my desk... in real life, I'd be the guy blubberin' in the corner, crying for his mother.
The US silent service actually suffered a casualty rate higher than any branch of any of the Allied services during the war. Food for thought.

Anyways, if I wanted something I'd want a crew that can see. I can see huge ships lumbering on the horizon, and even during the pitch dark of night they can see me (and direct well aimed fire!) on me, before my crew can even see them.

Okay the Japanese were well known for their spotters, but a relatively small sub vs a big merchant vessel? It's just so ridiculous because you can see them yourself easily. Taken damage so many times it's ridiculous.
Tater made a mod that fixes all the Japanese radars that were improperly detecting stuff on the surface. It's also included in TM along with Ducimus' adjustment for better crew sighting. I can still see them from far far away before the crew does but they're much better than the stock game.
