Thanks for the replies.

I confess to some impatience last night, but I'm not interested in an arcade game. I enjoyed stock for years, and just recently loaded Grey Wolves.

My third patrol ended last night when I gingerly approached a convoy in '40, loosed four torpedoes that ran for 3 kilometers. (3 hit.) By then, I was at 50 meters and heading down to 148. Two escorts, then a third headed directly to my location. One of them gave up after a few hours, to rejoin the convoy, which was out of range of me by then. The other two didn't leave me.

I didn't exceed 1 knot after I got below 100 meters, and I ran silent. No reloading for the first 24 hours.

I didn't attack the escorts for fun. I COULD NOT GET AWAY. I even spent a six hour stretch without moving. They didn't leave. My attacks on the escorts were a last ditch effort to survive the loss of my oxygen.

Can VIIb's survive at 200 meters?
