Yeah but dont forget your in a Uboat that is hard to see when on the surface, i get the same problem, 3 times now i have been trying to get inside this taskforce (Feb 1942 -Grid CO 64) in the Med two nelsons and plenty of escorts who seem to have eyes better than a eagle, once detected, on the surface in rough weather thats it i dive and spend the next hrs evading no point trying to catch up with a taskforce, convoy i would off. So I quit game. Reload a save try again this time im at persicope depth infront of taskforce, apprx 2500yrds travelling at 2knots i raise the scope so its just skimming the water turn to see a destoyer in the distance and yep he spotted me! Cause im learning manual targetting i need time to set up target etc., well when a destroyer is zeroing in on you, you can feel the sweat dripping down your face!, down persicope order crash dive and once again im spending the next 1 or so evading.

Oh well i wanted tougher gameplay, yep i got it! Ive reloaded a save and about to try again - 4th time lucky:hmm:
