How about this:

If you the RADAR warning reciever warns you of RADAR signals, it is best to submerge.

Yes - mos of these are factored into the game.
Just add the pacman info to your map view and test.
You will see the range that ships can detect you change with these tips from Sober

Thank you guys !!!

This thread matches some interrogations i had until now about SH5 realism when targeting a convoy at night, dawn, day and dusk, with or without deck awash, etc, etc.

Thank you too, Sober, cuz' i forgot some vital rules (ie : if possible, never engage any airplanes....).

Diffrent ships have diffrent armaments , early middle or late war . They also have diffrent competent crews .
If you are using my mods list then also , ships crew have a fatigue roster .
If the ships are on alert then its a diffrent story .

To my knowledge, all shells modeled in SH5 are HE...
Why do you think so? From in game and by looking to it in Goblin, it can be clearly seen that the 88mm deckgun is equipped with both HE and AP shells. Basically both of them work the same way, but they have different settings as far as armor penetration, max damage and damage radius are concerned:

Code:
		HE Rounds	AP rounds
MinEF		10		8
MaxEF		25		16
AP		20		22
MinRadius	1		0.5
MaxRadius	3		2
AP shells have an higher armor penetration capacity (22 against 20), but they do lesser damage, and in a smaller radius. These settings can be adjusted at wish

IIRC, the ability of any unit to call in for reinforcements is controlled by the cmdr_AI* controller found in its sim file. In addition, in zones.cfg there is a zone called 'Radio', wich is set to destructible (hit points=8, armor leve=-1, i.e. the same as the parent object). I ignore if/how the two are connected, and I ignore too whether there's or not a random delay from when we are spotted to when the attacked ship manages to comm for reinforcements.
Being able to destroy enemy radio devices would be quite pointless if SOS signals were sent (and successfully received) in the exact moment that we are detected

Thanks everybody for your answers. I'm glad to learn that there are so many realism factors programmed in the SH5 game engine.
