Could also try running "decks awash" if you're using a supermod.

running deck awash to avoid the detection as well

I actually try to stay surfaced as long as i can.
And keep checking the distance of the enemy ships. I usually ask the watch crew how far the nearest visual ship is.

''nearest warship at 5000m
''nearest warship at 4000m''

With the watch crew calling out the distance, i know if its closing in or moving away. But i always look myself too. If for example they are calling ''Nearest warship 4000'' but i see it is pointed away from me. Its okay. I'm always on the bridge. If you keep your distance from the ships, its okay.

Why do i stay surfaced. Because i have more situational awareness, and being surfaced makes you more maneuverable, i can change course real fast, and change speed. If i feel i'm gonna get detected. I can change course and speed real fast.
If you are submerged. You lose the maneuverable. I only dive when needed.

I don't know the exact detection range. But when they are around 5000m away. I'm careful.

Like this (GWX OneAlex):

Gets increasingly difficult as the war progresses. In real life the surfaced attack got too hard in 1943. In game this seems to occur a bit earlier, but it depends on the mod.
