Shkval,

May I ask how you got to that point, I mean, before PD and going back slow.

I'm asking this because some skippers when making contact with a TF or convoy like to "floor it" to get infront of them (and in the meanwhile like to ID potential targets, in other words... being to close to them).
Destroyers normally patrol in front, to the sides and rear of a convoy zig zagging al the time, sometimes they stray from their zig zaging course and make a 90* or a 180* turn and stay on that course for 5 min's or so then turn back toward the convoy in which case you'll probably be spotted by it.
Also, when you get ahead of the convoy make sure you're in front far enough so that when you make your attack run you're not to close to the lead escort (going flank speed is a good way of saying "Yoohoo...I'M HERE!!!!!!".

You might have been spotted earlier than you think.

As for installing the extra Mod,
When you activate the Mod look at what is alters (you'll get a pop-up) if its only TMO 2.5 you can install it last if you want to but if it alters other Mods like OTC then you should put it in before that.
I used to place it after TMO and TMO small patch before RSRDC
