In conducting said goal, number one chore is to not be seen. To minimize that risk, you use radar. However, the enemy can home in on your radar signal, just like they can the radio signals, so if you want to do things the "realistic" manner, you use 1x TC like Front Runner does, and then sparingly use your radars, such that you are aware of your surroundings, but not having a contact "beacon" sounding... Myself, I only do the intermittent stuff occasionally, else you would be out there on the boat for four years...

Thanks propbeanie.
My strategy is to always use both radars on but I wasn't sure which of the two are detectable when operating. However I don't mind very much about my emissions, although there are annoying situations where enemy planes constantly fly towards my sub due to that reason.In that case maybe I switch off both.
