Erm, what about your batteries? Lets see... U-Boat, top speed submerged; 8 knots. Destroyer; top speed 30+ knots...
I've never once ran out of batteries in this game, except when depth charges destroy my batteries.

No, I find little value in trying to crawl away at silent speed - they always seem to find me. I find it best to use flank speed to put as much distance away from the convoy as you can. I think the escorts get "homesick" for their convoy the longer they are away from it. The farther away you can get, the more likely they are to cut and run when they lose your scent. But if you try and leave the convoy at silent speed forget it, unless you have very deep water to do it in.
