If I have my scope up and do 2/3 or greater thy notice but at 1/3 I can leterally be right next to them and they see nothing.
If they see the scope they dc me but if I stay undetected until stuff blows up, they seem to just stay on station. They might come in to take a quick look but they never search hard enough to find me. I am usually in the middle of the convoy diving to 250+ ft on 1/3, so I am hard to detect.
When they do dc me, the charges go off at all kinds of depths, usually medium to far distance. Haven't gotten damaged by a dc yet.
I've had the most trouble from those gunboats. They seem to go right to my posistion and stay on me.
