If the night is dark enough, check the moon phase and relative location. If you keep your speed low enough not to produce a visible wake. If the escorts lack radar. If you do not do something dumb like trying to use the deck gun.

With Wolfpacks out of the box in AOD, you can really exploit a pack attack before radar becomes common and spoils all of your fun.

In AOD when one escort goes after a U-Boat, the remainder redeploy to continue coverage of the convoy and this will help facilitate getting into the convoy proper. but doing so is seldom easy.

Convoy escorts will often not hunt you to destruction because they need to rejoin their convoy. Support Groups on the other hand have nothing better to do and are difficult to escape from.
