Despite being very sturdy in some ways, in others u-boats were incredibly fragile. Any damage to the pressure hull that left one unable to dive meant a perilous journey home with every enemy contact representing a good probability of death or capture. Taking out one torpedo boat is not worth the risk IMO.
Personally I wouldn't even waste the gun ammo on 'em, they're too small to be much of a target and so fast that getting and staying out of their firing range while still trying to land a shell on their heads just seems like more effort than it's worth even if I succeed and don't cripple my boat in the process.
I just do whatever's required to get away from them and hope they're not taking down my license plate # and calling it in to their big brothers.
