More surface attacks?

I have read a few books about Submarines,written by successful skippers,and from what I gather the percentage of surface attacks was a little higher than what we see with SH III and SH IV.I was wondering if any skippers...sim that is...have much luck trying a torpedo attack on the surface .I have managed a couple against unescorted ships,but I won't even attempt it against escorted ships.Seems I recall George Grider using radar to set up attack in South China Sea.Makes me wonder if either side had radar detecters.I'll let you more knowledgeable Submarine fans answer that one.
