I always crash dive at that point, so in the end i end up underwater anyway

The cunning Kaleun is already making their escape when the torpedoes impact! Escaping on the surface without diving is such an awesome feeling! And it means you can attack again within the hour.
At night even with G7a torpedoes, set them for 30 knots to give you more chance to increase distance. In the dark they wont see the wake till its all over anyway and then its too late.

The balance and trade off you have to decide upon is whether to set your dive speed at 2 knots and accept the correspondingly miniscule change in depth and position, or set a higher speed to travel further and run the risk of being heard.
Spin the wheel of chance
