2 escorts have me at 170m below. Will it ever end?

It's 3/43 in my current patrol. I tried attacking a convoy but was spotted by a destroyer and corvette before I could line up a shot.

I immediately crash dove and began taking evasive manouvers to shake them off my tail. That started literally 5 and a half hours ago. Yes, I'm talking real time!

The convoy must be dozens of km's to the SE by now. The 2 escorts are circling above me, pinging when they can. They're out of depth charges.

I dove to 170m+, in silent running, speed 1kt (tried idling the engine, too) but they just circling around up above like there's no tomorrow.

Any way I can convince these fellas to go back to their convoy?
