Silent hunter III - Sonar escape

yeah you can try to sink escorts but when first torpedo hit all escorts start with hunting and changing direstion so all other torpedos miss, same for merchant and other ships. Also whole convoy is running over 20 knots so if you miss them it's over.
All that require good strategy.

Not with acoustic homing torpedoes.

I can tell you that I successfully escaped 2 escorts with sonar pulsing without using decoys.
I had 7ks seed from escaping depth charges andwhen I went on slow speed one of them jsut did mistake in their huntng strategy so 1 escort stopped and blocked another one to attack me so I went almost below this one and then everything went in my good. They just changed a bit hunting place giving me chance to escape from sonar.
