I just tried hunting in storm with heavy fog by listening to the sonar. Almost got killed when a DD suddenly popped up from the fog. Dived then went to periscope depth goin full speed to intercept the convoy which was now close but DD got me again hence forced to dive deep this time didn't dare to go to periscope again. Guess it was a failure. In real life this act is just insane.

By the way the excellent U-boat skipper Gunther Prien(Who went to Scapa flow and sank other 27 ships) was sunk this way. U-47 was suprised by a British DD out of a heavy squall in 1941 before U-boat was equipped with Radar.
