On the question about depth readings: I always thought that the enemy destoryers would hear the sonar, so I always took my depth reading when I knew that they already had my position, or as a torpedo exploded so they would be distracted.

I have always tried to keep my eels under 1km, but there are times when you cannot get close enough to a target to fall under such strict ruling. A tip when firing from long range, stay undetected, and dont fire from long range if you have been detected. Once they know you are there, they will begin to zig zag, and any chance of making a long range hit are shot. No Pun Intended.
