Low visibility during storms

Your crew is outside on the conning tower a few meters above the surface.

The way I operate in bad, poor visibility, storms is underwater. Too many times I have been caught like you! Even in open water I stay down, only popping up to recharge my batteries and restore the oxygen in the boat.

I was about 15-20km off the coast. Didn't expect to find a destroyer that far out since I'vd read that the US Navy barely protected their trade routes off their coast AND in weather that harsh. Well, I learned. I sunk a tanker while in transit so i had a save just before. I reloaded and proceeded to sneak into New York. Sunk a couple Ocean Liners and bagged me a nice 25k ton troop transport. This time, the storm helped me because they had a hard time finding me.

So, if I'm just off the coast, it's better to work underwater? I just got the radar upgrade but it's the first one. The one where i have to rotate the entire sub to get a full sweep. Though, not perfect, i feel safer having that while operating off the coast of America. Most warships i've seen so far are dinky torpedo boats with no sonar or outdated clemson destroyers.

if you are actively seeking US shipping, I would try to stay under as long as possible! Usually off the coast its shallow waters, so you are at a disadvantage to start with.
