Thank you! It does seem that once you are detected, it's pretty much over, at least in my case. I find it extremely difficult to shake off my pursuers. The last time I played I sunk a warship for 13k tons, but then seven destroyers all converged on me. One of them was almost motionless on the surface, it just sat there pinging me while the others used his signal (I guess) to locate me and depth charge me to pieces. I tried running at 0.5 knots and dropping down to 150 meters, and using decoys, but it didn't do any good unfortunately. Seems that the only defense is not to get detected.
I watched some of stoianm's tutorials, and it definitely seems like a good idea to attack escorted targets from a great distance, and to fire torpedoes with the intention of sinking them while they are at your (for example) 350 bearing, and not your 0 bearing (if you're using the fast 90 technique), because if you fire when the target is on your 0 bearing you don't have enough time to escape while the escorts are rushing to inspect. I hope I understood that correctly.
