Using that acoustic torpedo counter-attack technique I have sank two corvettes and a Hunt Class on three different occasions, and damaged a fleet destroyer of some type, which allowed me to escape. However, I was rammed and sunk once and another time a second escort came up undetected and blasted my boat to pieces.
So the acoustic torpedo is not a panacea nor do they compensate for poor decisions or carelessness.
Type VII patrols in 1944-45 can be pretty brutal.
