As stated a few times here, you can get away with murder in heavy weather, even in TMO.
Even a slight chop on the water can degrade the escorts detection capability.
But in dead calm waters, even silent running ahead dead slow, I make sure I am at least 2500 yards from enemy destroyers prior to an attack.
Also be aware that escorts will have varying levels of competency ranging from abysmal to uber.
You may have just got lucky
