help with GWX destroyers

Hi there to you all!

I'm playing with GWX for some days now... and today happened this:

I was sailing in Biscay bay when i spotted 2 merchants... after a while even a DD came up. At 8000 m the DD started chasing me.
After some fighting/fleeing it finished its depth charges but continued chasing me even if i reached 180 m of depth and kept them for some hours...
The DD didn't "ping" me at all and i was sailing with my "rig for silent running" on.
I changed direction 4-5 times but nothing. reached 200 m... nothing: he was always above me... so i gave up. really annoying.
So: no chance of escaping in my opinion, unless you have the sonar buoy? (it was 1941 so wasn't possible yet).

Another thing:
How do you manage a convoy of 2 ships and 1 DD, 11k away in clear weather at noon with calm winds and sea? If i dive cannot reach them, if i go nearer they spot me. Just wait for the night to attack?
Any help would be gratly appreciated.
