40 meters is really a shallow depth to hide from ASW enemy ships that are actively hunting you. I alway try to go down (fast) to a minimum of 160-180 meters, possibly to 200 meters.
Only then you start "silent running" to creep away when appropriate VS going ahead flank and steering the boat when appropriate (escort just starting its depth charge run on you).

Oh good idea! I will do that, I think i can start a few days before I died. I will try that

I went to 40, because I didn't think I could go much lower, I was near the english channel. It seems it gets even shallower there too!

Should I just avoid going through the english channel? Maybe should go around the northern route??

As for moving around, I feel like I should be changing direction after I dive, to try to get away and to confuse them which way I am going. But I don't understand what speed I should be moving. hmmm

Okay lets try this, just say a destroyer was spotted and heading towards you fast, from the North. You are currently heading East, and at surface. Depth can be 200 meters. What are your orders, step by step.


Another question, should I be submerged during the day time or should I just submerge when things are spotted? Trying to get through the english channel, taking days, I felt a need to simply stop moving and surface in the day to recharge the battery, afraid to move because might increase chance of contacts
