That is correct. Kretschmer had a standing order to "not" submerge knowing that upon an escort sighting they might not have been seen away so they then could use their surface speed to gain a better position or escape.
Playing the game I do the same thing all the time. With Operation Monsun running inside a convoy surfaced was a lot of fun. I have been playing the latest version of Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate on the allied side and that is way way harder to do.
