It's still 1939 and I'm making my first pass up the British eastern coast.
And I'm getting shot up by planes during the day like it's 1945!
In SH3 I could pretty much sail the eastern coast of Britain unmolested in 1939 and 1940, except for running into the occasional escort or torpedo boat.
Is this to be expected in SH5?

New tactics are required if I am near the British coast . If I have all engines stopped and are at silent running I can sit at 35 meters below and listen for traffic with the hydrophone during the day . I only need to surface briefly to release the CO2 twice per daylight hours . I travel at night to get to where I want to go . I have had to return for repairs twice so far in my current campaign because of planes . I have been lucky and found 2 small convoys at night .
