This not entirely ture. I'm running TM1.6.02 and had a mission to take photos of Hiroshima Harbor thru the Bungo Straits. I could not get anywhere near close enough submerged to complete this mission due to the patroling warships,depth of water etc. even though I tried various tactics. I got close but not close enough to be able to get in and out without being detected and survive.
Of course there may have been a tactic available that I was unaware of.
