breaking contact is easier than not being detected while I am inside convoy during early years. When escorts detected me in convoy, I go 160-180m depth at flank speed, their depth charges limit up to 150m depth, no problem then I can go silent speed and relax without needing to maneuver except head straight opposite direction where convoy's going. Of course I couldn't do that in later years, and all I can do is be at furthest distance, fire torpedoes, dive deep and run away before torpedoes impact tactics when the times come.
