Escorts hear me, or see me at 5 km at NIGHT?... C'mon people that's impossible!!!

I wonder sometimes about how others have their mods configured. Some have no issue at all with the sensors and others jump out of their skin about it.

Like I stated above with my mods list. I have little trouble getting a good shot and wonder how much has to do with tactics and not the mods themselves.


If I have surface radar then I will run on the surface and get in front of ships and simply ambush them. I will sit knowing the lead ships are escorts and simply not raise my scope until they have past.

I just pick off a Shinano Carrier coming out of the Bungo Straits with that tactic. She was doing 20 knots and I got 5 out of 8 hits on her at 1500 yards. They were all zig-zaging and the escort got with 800 yards of me on that one with no detection.

Same tactics.. with this "lighter AI" mod installed it's possible to sneak into their (escorts ) wake and shoot sideways on merchants, but, o boy, they can hear well too... I risked a fast PD 45 degrees approach with "Ahead standard" and I was immediately detected at 3300 m (+-100m)... so don't be louder than "Ahead Slow" in calm water... that isn't so low speed... in ten minutes you can cross distance of 1220m... funny thing the crew immediately started to whisper the moment I was detected... how do they know
