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

Depth?
Speed?
Battle Stations?
Repair Crew on?
Rigged for silent running?
Relative bearing fom convoy and escorts and exit heading?
Leaking Fuel?
Rear fish?

I can't shake these DDs for snot and they have a seemingly unlimited supply of depth charges.

Thank you for the information ... the data was most ... enlightening.

Silent running was on.. thermal layer was at about 130ft, I had silent running on, Battle stations active, I tried getting away various ways- but the way that ended up working was turning away immediately after launching torps and hauling butt away, surfacing when torps hit and landing a few 85lb shells on the destroyers to sink them.

Well there's your problem. You can't have battle stations on if you have silent running on since battle stations causes MORE noise then normal. Do that and go deep and you should shake them in no time.

"You can't have battle stations on if you have silent running "

Exactly.

I haven't played in some time, but seems you could activate battle stations and silent running at the same time. As far as I recall the game doesn't hurt you if you have BS on, just that SR gives you more advantage.
Course mods vary...seems we argued before if BS was on with silent running had bad effect and Duci said no...

Anyway, escaping shouldn't be a problem, go deep and hit flank when they drop, after they explode, go back to silent running. The charges should fall behind you this way. Stay as narrow as possible to the nearest escort.

As far as your sub, when you try to attack, keep a narrow profile to the nearest escort, don't be broadside to one.
