Let's Play Silent Hunter IV (part 8): external viewings, radar fail, periscope fail

Lord Cucumber cowers in the night... and heads for Manilla!

Also, apparently.. radar doesn't work under water. Who would have thought..

Tactical note: Stay on the surface until you get a visual on the enemy. If you stay relatively slow and stealthy, not kicking up a big bow wave and wake, you can usually spot them long before they can see you. You might be able to outrun them or outgun them on the surface, but once you dive you become very slow and vulnerable to hydrophone detection. This is assuming the enemy doesn't have radar (the Japanese didn't in early WW2).

@Guppify I know. I found out in the next 40 episodes :-) But thanks nonetheless!

Even though i have absolutly no expirience with this game, my guess is that they were patrol boats because they are planning on flushing you out because you sunk their mercantship

[LordsOfTheGreenLeaf]

@xFr33d0mxF1ght3rx Very likely yes. The AI actually notes your position if it spots you, even through a merchant, and calls in reinforcements to seek you out. The mods I run make that worse, in fact :-P
