Default Gameplay vs Realism

Your improvements sound fantastic TDW. I can't wait 'til all this good stuff is integrated into a new version of Magnum Opus.

In order to give subs atleast a fighting chance against these mighty Hunter/Killer Groups, would it be possible to have it so Subs are more difficult to detect when sitting motionless on the seabed? Obviously if it's very shallow then this wouldn't apply, because aircraft would probably spot you submerged anyway. From what you've described, it sounds as though it would be almost impossible to pass through the narrow channels near Dover or Gibraltar in the game. In reality it was difficult to get through these channels undetected, but not impossible.

Counter-measures weren't available to Uboats 'til later in the war, is that correct? But then ASDIIC wasn't as freely available or as effective early war either. So I guess there should be a chance.
