It doesn't change often. It wasn't modeled in stock SH3 very well. About the only time you can count on it to change is the day you make it back to your harbor.

How does it work? Only the Shadow knows.

My crew will hold a moment of silence to honor your commander. Tough break

The calm seas didn't help you as it makes it easier for the escorts to find you.

Interesting enough, the U-boats were supposed to attack on the surface, and early in the war that is what they did.
Even early in the war, it is difficult to do this in the game.

Actually, it depends on the month that you are.
I was off scapa flow once, and i damaged an empire type freighter with my last torpedo. The engines were silenced so the escort took off about 20 hours later.
In the meanwhile i took cover below the damaged ship. The weather was stormy so i decided to get some fresh air and submerge again and wait.
The next day it was clear. I fired it with my 20mm and it went down.
(In the meanwhile another DD caught me in the crime scene, so i took cover next to the sunken ship now)
