Does it really matter when under silent running whether you go at slow (~100RPM) or set the speed manually to 1kn (~50RPM) ?
Or is this just something we all play fore realism's sake ? I asked myself this question from time to time yet when I was in such a situation

I didn't even know until I read it here recently that you could adjust the speed lower than the "slow" setting.
Once I found out, I now routinely manually set revolutions for 1 knot when silent running. I have had much better luck escaping escorts since then.
I do the "wiggle waggle" that has been described. Flank speed to escape maximum depth, cut power to revolutions for 1 knot, alter course 20 degrees and drift.
