Can't get away from the escorts during convoy attack....

The moment your last torpedo leaves the tubes, hit crash dive + max power. Turn away and turn off Battle stations. Silent running should be on with the exception if your going to reload and try to get additional shots off. That's rarely the case so Silent on.

The escorts head for the beginning of the torpedo bubble trail is my observation. You want to clear the area of your firing as quickly as you can.

Crash dive puts max down angle along with max power. Click on depth gage to 250 ft or so or boat will stop at about 160 ft.. As escorts approach chop power. Usually you have some time for them to organize the search for you.

Track escorts with sound. As they approach go to engine off (or 1knot if you know how) and put some turn into boat to present small profile.

Go to map and put an X on escort position each 30 seconds or so. When the close in escort gives you his stern, bring boat up to 2/3 speed. Back to off if he turns back. When you have multiple escorts on you this can be tricky.

As stated before, if they drop over you hit power for a short burst. Apparently depth charges take some time to sink.

They will continue to work area of torpedo shot unless you give them a reason
