I hate shallow water, but you can pull off successful attacks there. A recent misadventure in the Celebes Sea had me using the periscope at flank speed underwater so I could see the looming shape of the destroyer. I would then turn away from him and watch him drop his charges behind me.
After a real-time hour of this, I got into 100 feet of water or more, and after his lastest run, went to 1 knot and silent running about the same time the DCs went off. Crawled away at minimum speed, and when I upped scope a while later to see if I was clear, I could see his superstructure jutting over the horizon. He was sitting there waiting on me to make a noise.
