Decoys are superb, but only if used right. You've fired your fish, the sharks are homing in ahead, it's time to bug out.

As someone suggested above, run at flank speed as you dive and deploy one. If there's a thermal layer, cut the engines back to 2 knots and silent running, and change course. Works a treat for me. I had 12 Jap DDs depth charging the **** out of my decoy as I made a smug escape.
