The objection that I had is the same DD's spoting me from over 6km away, at night, in choppy seas, with no moon and I'm sitting DIW (Dead In the Water). I can't see them at all, until their guns light up! Then I can see them just fine as I start pounding on the "C" key to do a crash dive! Wondering if one of my watchstanders had lit up a cigarette (you CAN see that at night for miles and miles, I've seen it myself, freaky!).
In what month and year did this happen, and do you know what kind of destroyers were involved?
Mmmmmm....let's see. Trying to rattle my rusty, salty brain here.......
Lets see... December 1939 for the night and again around Feb 1940

I seem to remember that the ones that open fire on me at night from extreme range were: Flower Corvette's and I believe Blackswans.

The ones that seem to suddenly leave the convoy and come at me while I'm submerged always seemed to be the C&D class. This seems to be random any time from 1939 until after 1940. Supporting what you're saying.
Then after 1940, starting in 1941, theire are always more escorts and they spot you easy, but of course I'd expect this during this time and later.

I have noticed one thing. The V&W guys act dumb. Rather for me, everyone that I can remember coming across acted like they had NO idea what they were doing. I guess the random thing for them never worked! I always feel sorry for a V&W when I see it, as I seem to take it out with easy. Then again, with that attitude, watch the next one I run across sink me dead!

V&W Capt.: "Right boys. There's the bugger now. Let's get revenge shall we?"
