A surfaced U-boat against a destroyer (any year of the war) has the same chance of survival as one of these:

So next time, run away!

1) Why did he not sink, slow down or at least run away.

If you don't hit them at the waterline, ships can stay afloat for quite a while, even if you wreck their decks and superstructure. Next time you decide to tangle with a DD, direct all your fire to just below the waterline, and don't bother going for the propellers, you're chances of hitting those are next to none.

2) Why was he so fast? It was only 1940 I only had steam or electric.

Destroyers are fast and maneuverable, and your chances of hitting an alert escort with torpedoes are slim at best. With steamer torpedoes you have a little better chance since you can adjust their speed, but they leave a nice long wake behind them. Electrics are more stealthy but restricted to slower speeds, and a maneuvering destroyer will most likely evade them.

3) Why do all destroyers try to ram you its cheap its an instant kill
you don't get a chance to repair unless you're really lucky.

It sounds like you disabled the guns on this one, which doesn't leave much options, and besides that ramming is fast and effective. Which is why you should sound the ALAAAAAAAAAAAAARM as soon as you're caught on the surface.
