would run decks awash increase chance for destroyers to hear you? because decks awash is considered as running submerged? Sometimes the nearest I can get to escorts without being detected while on surface at any speed during very dark was around 2.5km away. That's in early year, but I haven't tried run deck awash just to get closer to escorts before. Is the speed the key? I guess I'll try that.
