They're all in the mod


Quick question on my part: Are Flower class corvettes incredibly adept at finding u-boats or am I going crazy? It's only early 1940, yet the Flower escort of the convoy I'm trying to attack keeps detecting me when I'm running silent at a dead stop or less than one knot and several kilometers out. I can sit there at extreme depth and it'll leave me alone, but as soon as I start to approach periscope depth, even in the middle of the convoy, it knows I'm there once I pass ~30m depth. Then it calls in the three other destroyers and they all depth-charge me (which I am pretty good at evading if I know they're coming, but it also means that it is impossible to attack that convoy for me since I can't even get a minute or so in peace to identify if I'm shooting at neutrals and get a solution before I have to bugger out).


Edit: Seas are calm and it's a clear night, which I know makes it easier for the escorts to detect me, but goddamn they're good. I didn't think they'd detect me so easily. It's odd, when I snuck into Scapa Flow my boat moved slightly faster, seas were calm and I was also merely at periscope depth yet they didn't detect me even when passing right overhead, while now they detect me at like 5km out. Is this one of those elite escorts?
