I would like to give some sage advice, but if this were real I'd be dead now. When I hear the pings I tend to cover my ears, close my eyes and shout "LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!"

... I guess you do not have a Bernard on board.... YOU ARE BERNARD!

breaking contact is easier than not being detected while I am inside convoy during early years. When escorts detected me in convoy, I go 160-180m depth at flank speed, their depth charges limit up to 150m depth, no problem then I can go silent speed and relax without needing to maneuver except head straight opposite direction where convoy's going. Of course I couldn't do that in later years, and all I can do is be at furthest distance, fire torpedoes, dive deep and run away before torpedoes impact tactics when the times come.
