@ Ducimus, from what I have read, and so far about 3 dozen U-boat books, the Atlantic was so murky that the boats were not visible below the surface, have never read any being attacked that way, only if the scope or snorkel was detected, not to say they weren't, just never read it.  |
I timed the 9D2 in OM a couple days ago.
Periscope Depth from surface to submerged is 4.2, almost 5 minute.
Crash Dive from surface to submerged is 3.2 minutes.
First time I tried to dive, I thought the game command was broken (is IMO). If radar detects inbound aircraft, it is already to late to dive.
I mentioned this to Luker and he said it was by design. That along with the constant aircraft attacks while surfaced and the aircraft attack range of opperation prompted me to remove OM.
