i believe it was tested once or twice, but i dont think it was ever used in a combat condition.
if it was... it was not a very notable device

I wouldn't want that thing hanging from my U-boat, impeding my crash dive time, considering the number of Allied patrol planes out there by mid-1943.

I also remember reading that Doenitz issued an order limiting their use as it caused confusion for the Japanese in the region. Too lazy to look for it now... |

fancy thing, this gyro. but they should have invented better active radars...instead of such laborious copter thing. that would have made the trick!
