Creeping Depth

That has happened a lot to me in campaigns to the extent that I now use it to catch subs on the surface. They do not always surface immediately and can take a few mins to appear, but in every case the periscope comes up first and then the whole sub a while later - at which point they usually get a metal fish to deal with from me :D worked great on the dreaded lfn mission 6

Its the same for an AI sub as it is for you.

If you are below periscope depth and a surface ship is dead in the water, you only knows its original position (where it cut the enignes, if it drifts 500m then the blip you see on your tactical is 500m inaccurate).

Once you move to periscope you reaches periscope depth (sometimes you need to raises the periscope too), then the blip will update again.

The same goes for the AI subs.

If an AI sub moves at 2/3rd or move below periscope depth it wont know your exact position either, cause its own propellas are making too much noise.

When you hunts a sub you will often see it change speed to 0 or 1/3rds to get it's tactical updated.

The same goes for you.
