Unsure if it gives you any help at 90m though. But as some people have posted in other threads concerning thermal layers and detectability it greatly helps to dive deep and just run real quiet.

Why the 5-degree rudder adjustment btw? I always thought hard 35-degree knuckles from time to time, altering your course significantly in an erratic way would confuse anyone that's looking for you. All at "Schleichfahrt" of course.

At 35 degrees your turn/speed ratio is bad. At 5 degrees you gently turn, keeping your speed, being silent and quietly alter course without problems. Hard turns and increase of speed only for 1-2 minutes after being depth charged, and that is only if you are hunted by 1 destroyer. If its 2 or more wont help much, unless its last resort, if you feel that the depth charges are coming right on you.

My view anyways
