If you are at periscope depth, yes. The waves will help mask you. It definitely works - I have used this tactic many times. |
Indeed without the rougher seas I have passed on a few later war attacks.
I'm not sure if it is the waves, the extra noise of the ocean, or the escorts being tossed about. Perhaps a little of all that jazz.
I've also set 1m below periscope depth and just raised the scope a bit more to keep the top of the conning tower lower. Rarely, if ever do I extend the scope all the way. That is like a signal flare.
I would also like to add; CrashDive is overrated. I think we just like the sound affects at times. Tip? Develop escape tactics without it.
edited to add; I bet the guys tooling about in those IX sonar magnets have a tougher time
