A lot depends on the weather...in poor weather 1940-41 I could easily get to with one km or so before a DD picked me up (that's running on the surface). Sometimes with heavy fog you might even get to within half a klick of an escort
 Calm weather...safer to track the convoy and wait for night.

Furthermore, if you are running fast on the surface and as a result you are leaving a big wake... you are much easier for them to spot... not to mention the maximum aspect ratio of your sub that you are showing the enemy when you are running parallel to them. Once they have you spotted... it is easier for them to know where to look... and to continue tracking YOU. All of these things are modded to that effect in GWX and have been for some time. All of this is covered in the GWX manual and on the sticky regarding GWX sensors here in this forum. Furthermore, in the gunnery section... you will see how warships had more powerful optics than U-boat crews. |

Yes but shurery the Smaller profile of the U-Boat would hide the U-Boat. And besides I can bearly see them and they can see me! Thats whats pissing me off.

Impatience and indisgression will get you killed every time. The AI is pretty much awake now. All that I mentioned still applies.
There's always Stock or other mods if you don't like GWX or if you feel it is too tough for you. I will not back the AI agression down. Cheers. Best of luck. |
