Why wouldn't they be actively pinging while escorting a convoy ?

They tended to listen in passive mode (not that the sets were that reliable early on) and go active intermittently.

However, the second they suspect a U-boat was around they would go active.

Check the game out carefully and you will often see one go active whilst another listens intently close by.

I use the ... Get into position, 50-60 mtr depth, 1knt , silent running method, to get in to convoy.

I let the DE's get past me then move in for the KILL.
