I am no expert but to me this just sounds bad. As soon as you release you are going to flank and telling the escorts you are there. Convoy starts zig-zagging while torps are en-route, DDs coming at you pinging.. yeah... just all bad. Why would you want to be so loud at such a time?

Why not go slowly at least until your torps impact. Then by the time they know you are out there you are no longer at the firing point. I like to be two thermal layers down before they have any idea I am there.

I fire, dive and turn away while still silent running at slow speed. Most times I can slip away and they will never know where I was. (TMO)
