I run around 50 meters deep (If I'm detected early I can get deep quicker and try to avoid the DD) at silent running until I get close enough to convoy, go to pd, fire and crash dive TOWARD convoy, go under passing ships, silent running again. That tactic is one that allows me to survive everytime. One; because DDs will know where I'm at but can't go right at me bacause of convoy ships, two; the convoy ship sounds help me slip away. Sometimes DDs will still dc me while scurrying around a convoy and I'll then run at near flank until DCs explode, as they explode I shut engines down and coast awhile. When it appears they're not sure where I'm at I then go silent running and slip away.
