So, I use the advantage of this sub- small and fast diving to sneak into harbours and wallop the stuffing out of sleeping ships. It's the only way to get targets using the realism Mods in which ships detect torp wakes easily.

I noticed the shorter range. (I had actually read about ranges on here some time ago) If you are out of position, the quicker ships are definetly out of the equation. I was also thinking, does the game model the lower profile of the S class (as in DD's not being able to spot you as easy), it seems you can get closer on DD's without being detected. Heck, one of them ran away from me after I sent his twin to the bottom. I surfaced and fired my gun at him and he kept going! It's like he knew I couldn't catch him and just smirked has he went back to his convoy. Bastard.
