Any thoughts on this?
The way the AI works is....once a vessel is hit, the escort has a rough idea which side of the convoy you've attacked from and the quadrant (attacking from within the convoy gives you a better chance because you could be on one of two sides).

One way of detecting the above could be a sighting of the torpedo wake, now take away that possibility by using an electric and you have lessened the odds against you.

After the torpedo has hit the target the escorts AI has to make a decision which area to search and if they guess wrong you have obviously more time to make your escape (providing you don't make much noise).
