Heres what i do. I play DiD, but the next skipper i make, i create him at around the same time period that my previous one died. So i just pick up where i left off with a new skipper and new crew.

Aruond may/june of 43 is when things start getting REAL hairy. By 1944, i could sense the desperation that the german navy probably felt. The farther i went into the war, the more time i spent underwater. Surfacing is just too risky sometimes, even without the airpower mod.

The snorkel Is NOT the cure all. Even with the snorkel visiblity fix, certain aircraft have Radar that can detect you. Sunderlands come to mind. That 0.03 cm radar is your worst nightmare. Leaving the observation periscope up while snorkeling, i sometimes see planes circling, but having no real firm contact they go away. Othertimes im bumped right out of time compression only to find a sunderland has parked a depthcharge on my wintergarden!

Snorkling is risky, because your chance to detect them is even less. Sometimes i think its better to just recharge on the surface because at least then you ahvea fighting chance.
