Last night I survived a two hours pounding in real time.
I was able to TC a little so it was probably more like 3 hours game time.

I was stupid enough to attack a convoy in about 65-75m of depth on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. Given how shallow I had to keep the boat, I'm really amazed to have survived.

It was really exhausting to keep track of each and every DC run on the hydrophone, and then take evasive maneuvers. After about 1and 1/2 hours, I started to TC up to 8X while the warship swung around to my stern. Then I would go back to 1X and listen for the inevitable DC splashes.

"All ahead flank!"

Somehow we suffered only light damage on 2 runs that was easily repaired.

A miracle. We surfaced hours later and began tracking the convoy again...
