Welcome aboard, Herr Kaleun. Would be more pleasure to meet you under better circumstances.
Sitting there and wait is certain death. Try to sink your attackers is the only way to survive. After shooting all torpedos you may try to sneak away.
Do you have some torpedos left?
If yes:
Are both periscopes destroyed?
If yes:
Is the weather good for magnetics at shallow depth?
If yes:
Goto 16 meters depth - listen with the hydrophone and note the position of the destroyers. They will circle and run directly over you, but without depth charges they won't harm you at 16 meters.
Do you know the types of DDs? Was there a corvette with them? A sloop (Black Swan)?
Concentrate on the "sitting duck" if you can hear him and your position is good. Send an electric to his position - magnetic - 5 meters running depth (if possible - H.Sie?). If it bounces off (listen!) it's the corvette (or maybe a sloop) - next try on this exact target (follow your contacts noting their positions) with 6.3 meters running depth.
And/or:
Let a DD pass you directly from port/starbord and listen to what side he turns. Prepare a forward or stern tube accordingly to shoot straight - magnetic - 90° AOB . You may want to back/forward a few meters to ensure the torpedo has a chance to arm itself. Shoot your eel at the DD passing the 35° mark left or right from your eel's path (slow 30 knots electric) or the 25° mark (fast 44 knots steamer).
Good luck! See you in Valhalla.
