Another suggestion, given the full scenarios that you've presented: Once in a position of disadvantage, fully break contact with the convoy. Let them get out of visual / sound range but track their movements on the nav map. If you know their heading and speed, you can predict where they will be. Then you can flank the convoy outside of detection range, get back in front of them and re-engage. This would potentially make the mission a bit longer than any of the others, but this is also what you'd do in a mission/campaign if you fell behind a convoy.

Let us know if you upload a video to Youtube.

I will give you details about what I am doing now...

Attempt 1: I read a good tutorial somewhere else about sonars and their range so I tried the following:

1) Up periscope to 13 meters, lock to leading destroyer, select torpedo I with dial "T", manual targeting (Manual entry toggle button) and "Target speed input" to 13 Vg / Std (good angle), I wait and shot 1 torpedo to leading destroyer, then she's going down.

2) Unlock periscope, lock periscope in the largest merchant (4800 tons as I remember), again manual targeting and target speed input, dial "S" Salvo torpedoes II and IV, if I have luck, she's going down or is getting slowing down.

3) Down periscope, I try to escape to the right (full ahead) and I dive as fast as I can to 80-100 meters. I put propellers in silent run mode. When I hear depth charges, I stop engines and wait until ASW trawler give up, then she goes to the last tanker and I take advantage, I put propellers to flank and go to periscope depth. Here it´s the big problem, the convoy is far at the right so I try to reach the merchants at 8 knots (flank) and again the nightmare, the ASW motherf... is persecuting me again even if I didn´t up the periscope. I understand, Captbones, that the reason is because the noise of the propellers but otherwise how can I reach the convoy? I am so confused

Attempt 2: Trying to follow Captbones tips...

1) and 2) the same as Attempt 1.

3) The same as Attempt 1 but instead of diving to 80-100 meters, I tried to put propellers in silent mode and aheading slow at periscope depth. It seems that ASW is confused and she really doesn´t know where I am, but again, I have the same problem because I am so behind that the convoy I can´t reach merchants in a good position. My solution: put propellers at flank and try to reach the convoy but the motherf.... ASW seems to hear the propellers and is annoying me again like a disturbing fly (midge) and I give up the exam.

Well, that´s all. Despite I am stuck in this exam (I pretend to make a good exam to start missions), the game is amazing and I am enjoying it despite annoying destructors.

PS. I think the next time I will upload a video to youtube to see better what I am trying to do.
