I was just about to take some new measurements to see if I had to corect my course/attack plan when I see that he starts zig zagging.... OMG I thought, how is this possible that a merchant spots my periscope from around 5 kilometers... a destroyer...yes, but not a pesky merchant... I felt like an idiot... lol
How am I supposed to gather the data for plotting and attack etc?!

I know GWX has improved enemy AI which is awesome and I'm not bashing... but is this realistic?

Why shouldn't this be possible?? Merchants also had a watchcrew and are higher than a destroyer, so with good bino's they could spot you just as much (or even more) as a destroyer.
