I was in a NYGM career at '43 then lost it (windoze system bombed).

But just prior to the loss, IIRC.. I got close to a convoy then was spotted, and chased down. I spent 8 hours (guaranteed) at TC=1x, been harassed by at least 4 escorts, or most likely a hunter killer group - I'm not sure as I operate at 100%+

I got to sleep about 4am, after escaping using a tactic I'd developed during this career. I spent at the whole 8 hours at the hydrophone station tracking every escort, and could pick out who was attacking and who was pinging.

Once I ID'd the 'pinger' I, went under that ship at full speed, then went back to silent. I kept this cycle going for the whole period, then I broke their attack rhythm, and escaped through the 'gap'.
'They' were still dropping a charge or two when I was miles away... stayed deep until dark. Funny enough very similar to Das Boot - yeah!
