Changing course so your smaller silhouette face the destroyer position can be good idea too…

Indeed, the movie The Enemy Below portrays it best in three words:"Deeper Heini, deeper" as Curd Jugens' U-boat evades Robert Mitchum's destroyer for hours...but before commencing any attack, be certain your batteries and compressed air tanks are full up...you'll need em for slow constant evasion maneuvering. Also, it helps to use the convoy itself, by getting into or under it, as a screen to confuse the escorts.
