The instant I see 'we have been detected!' show up, I deploy a decoy, crash dive and creep away at 1 knot. Shortly after that, sunderlands show up to drop depth charges on what is actually the decoy.
The sunderlands fly in a formation, but often by the time the second wave shows up the first wave has turned around to make a pass. In a single blown screenshot opportunity, two sunderlands dove toward each other, hit head on and exploded. A third caught on fire from the debris. The same unlucky pilot who was set on fire hit ANOTHER sunderland head-on sending both to the bottom.
I'll have to poke around on my comp, with any luck I managed to take a sceenie of a sunderland sinking with the decoy in the foreground
Too bad you don't get credit for the RAF acting like smacktards in the game.

Something to keep in mind however: escorts can't passively sount detect above 20 meters, so if you drop a decoy just below the surface or above 20 meters they most likely will never hear it.
