Now radar, I've had no luck. Last couple patrols off the US coast, I've run into US destroyers with radar that picked me up as soon as I entered the radar circle.  Fortuneately, the US destroyers at this stage are not very good.

On my last patrol Jan-Feb -40 it was heavy fog, storm (15m/s) night and raining.
In short terms it was zero visability. YET the brittish escorts managede to locate me on the surface long before I could even see them. Radar so early? or a bug? I dont know I tried for two days to get in a good position but had to give it up. A large convoy.
