Hi McDonnell
With all SH versions you have to be in touch with a sinking target.
A torpedo hitting towards the bow section causes water to be forced in and will push the bow section down and bring the stern up which should slow the ship down a bit.
The distance where you lose renown for a ship sinking I have no real idea.
Targets seem to be able to spot you around 8km away so whether that is also a good indicator or not I do not know.
A ship doing 5 or 6 knots or less you should be able to keep up with while submerged.
As you will be behind the escorts they should not be able to pick you up.
Sometimes the target is left behind as it continually gets slower and the convoy pushes on and you get the chance to finish it off with the deck gun.
