Surface Attack?

Folducker · 05-11-09, 06:26 PM

I have never been successful trying to attack a convoy on the surface at night. I always get spotted and sunk immediately, no matter what speed or how I approach.

I usually go to 300 feet, silent running in front of the convoy. If I time it just right, I make it to periscope depth between two lines of ships. I can not do this with the periscope raised as raising the periscope gets me spotted immediately, even on the blackest of nights. I know that historically, it's almost impossible to spot a scope at night, (Or during the day for that matter) So what gives? Is this a game bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
