not true, japan ruled the skies in the pacific for quite a while so subs would never stay on the surface during the day untill way late in the war when japans air power was non existant, if even then.

archive1 is correct, a sub's standard orders were to submerge at dawn and surface only at night except for times when speed was critical or the situation dictated otherwise.

as to your question, yes the devs spent time to try and get the sim to run as close to realistic experiences as best they could but i would not go as far as to say documented results are in line with what you actually get in the game, but i think it is quite close.

you may be right about needing a tweak but lets see how the thread goes.

i personally think people are having so much fun modding things with the game that people havent been actually spending enough time endlessly playing it to work out all the small things that are not right.
