another thing... i also think the sea state has something to do with it too.

i think running with decks awash only works well in fairly calm seas, but i could be wrong.

let us know how it works out for you!

Running with decks awash does consume more diesel fuel than if you were surfaced (ie. 5m) so it's kind of a trade off between safety & fuel economy.

Where are my manners?!

Murr is correct. therefore the decks awash method should only be used when you are actually in close proximity to a ship.

finally... i dont think it really makes a great deal of difference in how detectable you are in the visual sense... however, if you are decks awash and find yourself in a sitation requiring a crash dive, the boat will crash dive quite faster than a normal crash dive..

Decks awash DOES reduce your visibility ingame

Yes, the game calculates the chances of you being spotted based on the amount of surface of any object above the sea. A fully surfaced submarine exposes more visible area than a decks awash one, hence the lower spotting chances- as in real life was-
