I had tried swimming with the convoy at periscope depth to stay out of the way of asdic, keeping my scope down and using the hydrophone only, but when they started crapping bricks and zigzagging all over the place, I was getting the hell beat out of my Turm when they bumped into me. So this ocurred to me one day, and it worked. The other thing is that the escorts are not fond of dumping D/Cs in the middle of the group; they'd be defeating their purpose and sinking their own freighters way too often.

I must admit that it's a lot easier in stock SH3 because the escorts "tails" are painted red. It's a lot easier to keep track of them.
