MERCHANTS ABILITY TO SPOT YOUR PERISCOPE

Yes, I do believe they are a little too good at the beginning of the war. Easy fix. Go to your radio messages. There is a down pointing triangle. Press that, and you will see your radio messages options. Also, you will see a number 4000 which represents how far away a merchant can spot your scope. Change that number to your needs. You can also change this number in the options selector.

If you are a true subsimmer, you have to be fair:
1939-1940 you can set this to about 2000m. This is more realistic as the war begins.

1941 to beyond, it should be set to 4000m and no more. 4000m was a standard for training in Reich academies that periscope discipline would begin.

You should still practice periscope discipline at 4000m regardless the year.
