One tip I have to offer on this when a destroyer is coming at you, because it is risky, and though it seems to work in early war.

when the destroyer is coming at you from whichever direction, crash dive and head down to 80m incase of Depth Charge drops. turn the U-Boat to face towards the oncoming destroyer, which will be going at ahead flank. As the Destroyer gets nearer, go silent and use silent speed (2kts). What I found is, the destroyer will pass over you heading to the location where he saw you on the surface BEFORE he goes active. Which gives you precious moments to get away from the spot where he seen you, and you can most of the time slip past them, they won't expect you to come towards them. If however they do go active, your acoustic profile will be at its most minimal so you may just get away with it. If not, deeper.
