Depending on how crazy realistic you want to be with your torpedoes uboats generally didn't use the 44kt setting. The setting was mostly used by torpedo boats, and still had a tendency to overload the torpedo's engine.
Although the tendency isn't the same on these boards, sub commanders began preferring the G7e TII as soon as its technical problems were overcome (as note the G7a's bubble trail is less noticeable than one would think in-game, and AI ships can't use it to pinpoint the player sub).
Unlike desirableroasted, I've had merchants take evasive action from 4km out in rough weather. Although this may be periscope or torpedo-related (either way one of the torpedoes still hit him).
