The objective, according to the U-Boat Commander Handbook, is "to see first! He who sees first wins."
You must not be detected at all until the moment the torpedo hits.
So how I play, if I can't sneak in, then wait for the opportunity! If I'm being deckgunned by a destroyer, I made a bad move.
You can play with the diveplanes and ballast all day, but you will never shake the escorts because of the noise.
Do not be detected!

I am thinking that it is very difficult to plan a video when your boat is under attack and has damage like flooding -- playing the game and have had come under attack before. I have lost a few boats. I'll sum it up. If you were able to maintain for a few days and all of your energy is depleted. that was a victory, even if you lost your boat. Making mistakes as described here will cause you to lose your boat. the use of Manuel dive planes do help in trying to keep the boat stable, that is until your battery is is all gone and your compressed air is nearly depleted. I had been attacked before by 3 swans and my gameplay was in that attack for 3 days - I managed to get her afloat and back to Lorient for repairs .. Just lucky .. but the next patrol in Operation drumbeat, I sank a tanker off the Florida coast. I got too prideful and made mistakes the lone VW destroyer hit my aft hull and my boat dropped aft backward and sank to the bottom- overconfidence can get your boat sank and not calculating moves will also have the same result.
