Default Hiding next to the enemy

I was in the photo recon mission, I got detected by the DD's, I managed to cripple one that was engines stopped and stern partly submerged but not destroyed.
The other was still hunting me, I managed to get right next to the crippled one and sat there, the hunter knew I was there but couldn't engage me because I was too close to the other ship.
It kept circling and I know it seems strange but I could almost feel it's frustration of not being able to do anything about it.
I had no rear torpedoes left so I had to wait till it crossed my path in front, I missed the first time but got it the second time it went past, then I reversed and sank the crippled one, all this was in real time, it was fun.

I remembered doing something like this years ago in SH2, hiding next to a crippled ship till it was safe to move, if my memory serves me right the enemy never knew I was there on that occasion.
