Stealth technology

Watched a program on one of the documentary channels and they were investigating the disappearance and finding and diving on U480. It seems it was invisible to sonar and only sunk because the brits had laid a trap of mines in the channel.

I know it’s later in the War being end of 1944-45 but I did not realise these U-boats had this Rubber coating with various small holes that trapped the frequencies. Stealth technology

I take it this would be totally out of the game if you made it to 1945, I remember playing SH III on some Dx sub I'm sure it was and it was more or less like this and very fast.

Having missed SH IV I’m looking forward to this new game.
