Otherwise it kept coming back to 100% realism.
I did it from the bunker but I should have saved. Will give it a try, thanks!

I was hoping to get some advice on how to properly attack the Polish task force in the patrol of the campaign.
I spot the task force at around 13:00 and after determining their course I submerge to periscope depth and wait for them at 0 knots. I make observations through the attack periscope to identify, get the speed and so forth and lower periscope to stay undetected.

The problem is that the two escorts spot me from 4000 meters and start shooting with great accuracy. The same goes for when I fire the torpedoes, a couple of seconds after the steam torps leave they start shooting (this was the one time when they got within 3000 meters).
What am I doing wrong here? The weather is pretty good but it seems impossible to spot a periscope from 4000 meters, especially when I'm laying still. I would hate to see what happens later in the war when the escorts are equipped with radar...
Any suggestions for me? My Kaleun is failing his crew over and over. I guess I'm looking for some general input on what I can expect from the AI and "do's and don'ts".

How do I sink the task force when they spot me right away?
