Greetings All

New to SH4 and been practicing torpedo attacks etc

Justa couple of things ....

American submarines seem to be painfully slow when submerged (5 knots or so) ... were they like this in WW2?

Did see some threads about this but I'm loathed to start tweaking the .cfg

Japanese destroyers are on top of me in no time

Get sent to Davey Jones Locker often when attacked by Japanese DDs, when attacked I'm submerged (obviously) stop or one knot or so, track the DD position on the nav map etc doesn't seem to work. If I go to outside view, they are right above me and seem to follow me?

If I sneak into a convoy, they still find me

What's the best defence for attacks by Japanese DD'S

Finally, I'm guessing WW2 American submarines were equipped with spotlights.

Are they in the game or a mod?

Appreciate any assistance.

Regards
