Shows you the wisdom of always making a sweep with your scope before surfacing.

I once got caught between three convoys in the area between Ireland and the Hebrides, where the convoys have to funnel through to approach Britain. It's a good hunting ground until massive air cover drives us away. I had been hunting one convoy and was flanking it when I saw the lead escort from an outbound convoy approaching. No choice but to dive; then a third convoy appeared! I had no option to attack and would not have if I could; with that many escorts available it would have meant certain death. I went quiet and as deep as I could. When it was clear I hauled out of there.

Unless you are extremely lucky, you are dead. Chalk this one up to experience and console yourself with the notion that "it's only a game."

More important, if you are in enemy areas, don't rely on your sound man. Go yourself and have a listen. It sounds like you may have clicked on 'follow nearest contact' button, so of course you got one report.

Listen yourself, the scope around making sure to watch the sky for aircraft too.

Good luck next time.
