Actually, I didn't think to alter the depth of the torpedoes. I left it at default which is, what, 3-5m? It was stormy and rough seas (not the worst, but the middle - overcast, windy and thunder/lightning but no rain) so visibility was right around 5km.
I did switch to impact detonators instead of magnetic.
I did attempt to surface at night and sprint past them to re-engage the following day, but my navigation skills let me down as I never saw them again.
Unfortunately, when I went back to Kiel to dock, the game crashed (game crashes a lot...).
But I did save it when I plotted my intercept course, so I suppose I'll have another go at it.
It's August 1940 and I'm in a VIIC.
