Discipline!

1) Silence: go to silent running, and get your motors to 50 rpm. Anything louder will be heard. It should be noted, if the escort stern is facing you, they can't hear you! Food for thought.

2) Profile: keep your bow towards to the escort. At least until it is moving away, then go back to intercept course. This keeps your profile low not only passively but if they use ASDIC.

3) Periscope: keep it down. Do not use it carelessly. It will be seen. Limit your scope use to 1 minute at a time. Better yet, don't use it until that lead escort has long passed you.

4) Depth: if you are near the surface, getting ready to attack, you should be deeper than periscope depth. If your U-Boat pops out of the water for any period of time, you will be detected. Wait for the escort to gain distance, and then come to periscope depth.

Of all these issues, newer players are detected mostly because of poor periscope discipline!

You new guys, think about it, how many times are you looking through the scope, when all of a sudden you hear the ping? Ahhhhhh haaaaaa!

Also don't dive deep. In NYGM, if you at 50 rpm, you will never resurface. Too slow. Dive planes need speed to produce lift.
