I've noticed a massive change in this patrol compared to the first 5. Every convoy is protected by one or more destroyers and they seem way overpowered compared to the first five patrols. Sitting quietly, even at almost max torpedo distance these escorts start pinging me as soon as they get within 3000 yds, meaning I have to break off the attack and go deep.
I'm not sure how to deal with them as they have no reason to know I'm there. I set up the attack way ahead of their arrival so as not to be detected. When I parallel their course I am over 7 miles away until I am about 10 miles ahead which should give me ample time to sit and wait.
