How did they detect me?

They are really annoying and will destroy your boat to 100% percent chance. I also used silent running and a lot of different stuff to avoid them, but is almost useless in 1941 and upwards.

I have a mod installed that takes away the search beams from merchant ships, which is how I understand it was in real life. This makes moving inside the convoy lanes a little bit easier, but as you point out, once the escorts have radar it is a much more difficult task.
