They are faster than me, I can imagine what is going to happen if I try to escape :
You're literally "boxed in". They'll keep you painted and wait for the merchant to sink on top of you.

If merchant is "dead" in water, wait them out. The AI is not smart enough to depth-charge alongside the "dead" merchant. But you're not out-running THAT hunting party.

How deep you have below keel?

IIRC, I was 60 meters deep, and the sea depth was 100. I couldn't avoid their active sonars .....

I was gonna say to rig for silent run & dive below 130m. Hopefully find thermal layer but at that shallow depth maybe waiting it out before your "clean" air runs out might be close. You may have no other choice but to wait them out.

Kinda like waiting out a hail storm under an overpass. Run out too soon, and you're gonna get pelted!

Viel Glück.

If it's not too late, and they can't depth charge you under there. Could you try an float just under the keel of the merchant (if it's not sinking yet) and hopefully get some topedos off at the destroyers, it would be a long shot (especially sense you can't see them) but if waiting it out doesn't work this could be a last ditch effort.

Now you've got them right where you want them!

In all seriousness, surviving this, even "winning" is possible.
Just have to remember, they must come to you. Not the other way around.

Patience...
Be calm, cool, and methodical.
