Night surface attacks easier TMO2.1

With 2.0 it seemed much harder than it does with 2.1, 2000 yards was about as close as you could get. I'm now getting within 1400 yards on nights with lite fog and lil to no moon. I even had one escort within 1000 yards that never saw me.

Course once the torps hit, they lite you up and being that close is more dangerous, so no escaping on the surface. so you have to dive anyway. I'll be at decks awash, but stay up enough to keep my engines on. I often wonder how well they hear you, if at all on the surface. If you go decks awash so the electrics come on, they will usually hear you on sonar. Course you're really considered dived, not decks awash then.

In the end I don't guess it matters, probably better off further away where you have a chance to turn and escape before the torps hit.
