"I was way behind an escorted convoy submerged and I figured wth, so I cranked up from slow speed to std and I got within 3000 yards and the destroyer never heard me. It was start of war 1941. But in SH3, i'd be dead."

Dont forget the destroyers can only hear you within a certain arc. Astern of a destroyer they cant hear due to their own prop noise

im doubtful about the loud pinging that we can supposedly hear in the sub. I read a book by a WWII sub commander, and he said when you are pinged it sounded like someone tapping a wall with their fingernail. That is quite different from the loud, 'dink', sound we hear in the game.
