Well, I'm not so sure I agree. Once, in 1943, after I had attacked a slow convoy (5 knots?) and hit at least one ship, I tucked myself under a troop ship while I reloaded my four front tubes. Took at least 1/2 hour. Escorts did not detect me. I then slowed down, let the troopship get about 300m in front of me, fired a mag torp, which brought it to a halt. Waited for its friends to leave, and finished it off.
I'm not certain that the game models sound masking of sub by merchants, but on more than one occiasion it has seemed to do so.
