avoiding task force

hi played this game over a year ago and have been giving it another go, playing in caraer mode i was on my way to search the area given to me in my mission when i spotted a warship, i reported this and was given an order to attack, i lined myself up getting excited about a possible kill when it all turned to horror, the voice in the sub says warship spotted, then another then another, eventually there was at least ten warships and a couple of merchants, far too much for me to try and take on. i think i need to escape but i am slap bang in the middle of their path, by now if i surface they will see and chase me, submerged i will be too slow to get out of their way so i decide to dive as deep as i can and stop with silent mode enabled hoping they will simply pass over me.

this doesnt happen, i hear the pings with about five destroyers hovering over me i hear the depth charges enter the water, i hear explosions, some near some far but each bang seems to get closer so i decide i have to move, still in silence i set my course for where the convoy came from and set speed to 1/3. the destroyers above seem to know my every move and after a while of trying to run silent i set my speed to flank, by this time the main convoy has well passed, just these five or six destroyers determined to get me, which of course eventually they do.

can anyone please offer advise on how i would get out of this situation in future

cheers
