Leaving aside the problem of near-constant storm conditions most months, it's nigh-on impossible to get the flare to deploy at the right spot. The AI crew don't know how to use it either.

Correct me if I'm wrong but subs didn't have searchlights mounted on anything or weren't even included on the subs. |
I'm not sure if it was standard equipment, but there are certainly accounts of boats using searchlights. U-48 seems to have had one. The sources are out there (Google "u-boat searchlight" for a start).
Some interesting ideas so far...
