As it turns out, I think that the shallow water detection we were talking about previously seems to have been modelled, either by GWX 2.1 or by SH3 stock (don't really know how much more of that is left after GWX 2.1 and Ubermod). Last night I attacked a convoy in rough seas, but good visibility. On a hunch I chose not to dive right away after the attack and, lo and behold, 3 DD's started searching a good distance out along the probable path of the torp, but never got close to me and my detection meter never went red. I was able to keep the attack going for a full hour at PD without ever getting within 1km of a DD.

In addition, I was able to conduct operations at 1/3 speed and off of silent running in a VIIB in 1940.
