I am playing using IUB 1.01

On the contrary, I find the AI too easy. I am in 1943 (March) and only now did the destroyers post a real challenge to me (81% realism). Most of the time after my attack, I moved under the convoy and was able to escape with barely a ping in my direction.

This last engagement was more challenging as 3 destroyers hunted me at once, and the convoy had already passed me and I was in open water.

The key is to stay deep and listen for depth charges. Increase your speed and change direction immediatly to avoid damage. Launch decoys at this time as well (but as of 1943, the first BOLD doesn't seem to be as effective). I try not to go too deep, and I would like some breathing room in case of a lucky hit.
