How big a threat are Torpedo Boats? - Page 2

I was stalking a merchant last night that was being escorted by a single torpedo boat. I was stationary at peri depth & he passed within 200 meters without detecting me at night in heavy seas... I was kinda curious as to what he might try if he did spot me. I ended up banging a torpedo off the side of the merchant because i was too worried to back up & was just a hair under 300m when he passed by.

They're limited to visual detection right?

Will they attack you if they spot your periscope?
