Yes it is possible. The acoustic torpedoes come around late 1943 and after that taking a few destroyers out with them is almost easy. However, there are usually enough escorts to make your patrol hell anyways. I've never played in 1944, because late 1943 the escorts get too good for me so quickly that I don't learn fast enough what to do with them.
