I performed a surface attack today. Found myself a good firing position, came to a stop, shot the torpedo's and started moving towards the convoy with a spare torpedo, ready to finish any victims of.

I was surprised about how quickly they saw me. Only 3 seconds after impact, and the bullets where allready flying... Sure, it was open sky, but don't they need to find you with the spotlights first?

Sebbe02, that 3 seconds is visual contact after you wakened them up a little bit... The point with surface attacks is the escape after the torpedoes hit. The best way to set up the attack is to torp a distant target and while the fishes are running start aiming at a nearby target so all torpedoes start exploding when you have already started the escape. With a surface attack that is a bit difficult as the nearest target is 1.5 km away etc. Still it is a shame that they do find you that easily.
