Strange, I never have trouble with them in 1940. Have all these sinking's happen in shallow water?

In 1940 you should be able to go to about 240 depth with a 100% hull with no troubles and avoid escorts.

As soon as you send the torpedos on their way change direction and dive, get as deep as you can as fast as you can. Once you are nice and deep then go to silent.

Silent running setting is not always enough....you need to drop your speed to 1 knot.

Grounding your boat is useless too....sonar can 'see' through land masses even....stooopid game engine
