Yeah that is what I thought. Not exactly when I fire the torpedoes, wich is strange as the DDs should hear the noise or those 2 or 3 fishes running after the merchant. But actually they start to launch their hunt when the torps hit the merchants...

Something strange I noticed in my previous convoy attack... I was deck awash in a calm sea with light fog. The DD pass just in front of me at around 2000 meters maximum without even noticing my U-boat, I could even see the men walking on the bridge without my binoculars...
But as I was waiting for the merchants, really happy that the escort didn't notice me, I intercepted a message : sub sighted.... those merchants had spotted me at no less than 3000 meters...
Seems like the merchant have better eyes than the DDs.

And thanks for the last video. But I watched again your previous video and it seems like the game gave really good tools to detect you while submerged but those escorts lack visual spotting distance compared to the merchants.
