The down the throat shots are much more dangerous now. The trick is to force them to commit to a head to head course by letting them see your periscope and manuevering your boat and then holding fire until they are less than 700 yards away. It cuts it close because the fish usually don't arm until they run about 500 yards and the risk of a premature or dud could end up killing your boat and crew so i try to only use that as a last resort.

I have my AI set better than stock, but not as good as TMO and they still get me sometimes so the best advice is to just try to avoid or evade them as much as possible.

Also create a training mission so you don't mess up your campaign and train,train and train some more. Start with 1 competent skilled Destroyer and work on giving your position away and evading it and as you get comfortable with that add more and better skilled DDs until you can evade several of them. None of us are 100% comfortable when the hunters come looking for us, but the idea is to change the gut feeling from "Oh S&^% here comes the Escorts" to "Ok, Here they come, time to lose em".

Good Luck!
