because radar can pick up your snorkel quite easily and subsequently drop bombs on it.
this is known as the "surprise ending" to your career. because usually the player is left sitting there looking at a death screen going "What!?!?!?!"
at least on the surface you can see them coming. (unless of course you have the late war snorkel radar warning receiver then by all means use the snorkel) |
This is one of the 'quirks' of SHIII and GWX that annoy me: You can't have a watch officer assigned to a "periscope watch", which is what they did when snorting. It's not *PERFECT*, but a scan with the observation scope has a good chance of detecting an aircraft or ship that wouldn't otherwise be detectable.
I'd much rather have a 50 or 75% chance of spotting an aircraft *BEFORE* it drops on me than the 0% chance that I have now.
