Anti sonar coating - any good?

Hey quick question: IIRC, historically the German attempts to coat their u-boats with rubber or similar to absorb enemy ASDIC ("Alberich") and radar ("Tarnmatte") was a failure.

Is this likewise modelled in SH III, i.e. making the investment into anti sonar coating (about 5,000 renown, IIRC) just as "profitable" as investing into Third Reich war bonds in late 1944?

Talking about sheer luxury: Even if it's a useless waste of renown, how does your boat look like in the game after fitting it with ALBERICH or TARNMATTE? Is it shown plastered with the coating? Never tried this, so I have to ask.

Thanks & Cheers,
AndyW
