If there’s nothing up there, get up to periscope depth quickly, but not above 9 meters (depending on weather conditions).If there is something up there, 20 meters will keep you below their keel and safe from being rammed. First, go up to about 20 meters and do a 360 degree sound check with the hydrophone, moving at a slow speed.It’s your choice, but the point here is not to sacrifice your stealth when surfacing.

If at any point you detect something, feel free to hunt it or stay hidden. Going up carefully will also maintain your stealth if anything is detected visually or with your hydrophone. For all you know, there’s something up there waiting for you, or something you hadn’t detected. This is especially true when you’ve been underwater for an extended period or at a deep depth. Not only do higher speeds cause vibration in the periscope to make useless, but the periscope cuts a draft in the water when at higher speeds, spraying water out behind it and giving away your position.Īlways be careful when you surface.

Travel at a slow speed when you have your periscope up.

Only use it for a little while, as long as it takes to do what you need to do, then bringing it back down again.

At short ranges, don’t leave your periscope up.

Sure, it the water laps up onto the periscope lens, momentarily blurring your view, but it’s the best way to hide it when you’re close.

When you get closer to the enemy 1-2 kilometers or shorter, keep your periscope low enough to be awash in the waves.It creates a higher silhouette and the typical, recognizable shape of a submarine. Do not use the periscope during the day when you’re surfaced.As was mentioned earlier, a periscope is an obvious indication of a submarine, a recognizable silhouette. Even when the ships are out to 5 or 6 kilometers. No matter the case, your periscope is always low when you’re using it. Without a mod, the second point is mostly an immersion and historical accuracy point, but in either case I’ll still move away from where I dived. After you’re submerged, leave the location of the dive. Not only could the enemy possibly have your position at the time of the dive, but sometimes oil can be left behind from the tanks and equipment, because of a residue that lingers in the compressed air tanks used to fill and blow the tanks for diving and surfacing. Do not stay in the same location where you’ve dived.With the limited visibility, the hydrophone is going to be the most effective way to detect enemy ships, anyway.

With limited visibility, there’s a chance a ship could suddenly appear, or aircraft suddenly appearing to spot you. If weather conditions limit visibility and prevent effective watch on the bridge, such as heavy fog on the seas, submerge and use your hydrophone.If you’re stationary, you’re submerged.Then, surface after dark to recharge your batteries and maintain a watch on the bridge, submerging again when dawn comes. You can keep the charge on your batteries going long enough to get to dark by moving at Ahead Slow (1 on the speed UI) or slower. If the region you’re in in heavily patrolled by aircraft or warships, stay submerged from dawn to dusk.It’s better to submerge too early than too late. Warships sometimes have optics in the foremast (front mast on a ship) that can spot you from a distance. Though not always reliable, ships have lookouts in the masts. When a ship is spotted, dive when you see the mast or top of the funnel(s) of their exhaust stacks.It visibility, safety and the element of surprise allow, you should be surfaced, else you’ll maneuver around blindly, and not only leave yourself open to surprise by Allied ships, but also lose valuable attack opportunities. It’s useless when the submarine is surfaced. The hydrophone is an auxiliary device, effective only underwater. Your best chance of detecting ships, thus being able to act accordingly, is when you’re surfaced and you have a watch on the bridge of the conning tower, keeping an eye on the ocean and horizons.If you see them first, and dive or get yourself into an advantageous position, you’ll usually win. If the enemy detects you or sees you first, you’ve just lost nearly all chance of winning. As in hunting elk or deer, during the hunting season, the first to spot the other usually wins.You have to stay undetected before, during and after your attack. Your goal is to avoid detection, else be destroyed, you need to constantly work to maintain your stealth and invisibility, while making sure that you can spot merchants and warships effectively and efficiently.
