Alright, back in my new Lorient base for report :
Run up against a HUGE convoy in the north atlantic, estimated 24-32 merchants carrying war supplies. The escort screen consisted of around 12 destroyers disposed in semi-circular formations at both ends of the convoy + the battleship HMS Royal Sovereign leading the way.
Put 2 fish in the capital ship, she listed badly but made it out at 4 knots, and sank 4 cargos before diving deep to escape the payback.
------ Tech part ------
The destroyers were quite confused because i attacked from inside the convoy with my engines shut down. Some scattered to investigate on the sides, 1 steamed trought the merchants at 34 knots and passed by me without noticing my presence. (submerged at 12m) I heard 2 pings but he was going way too fast to react.
After the battle i surfaced to finish a burning merchant with deck gun. He called a DD back wich steamed on my position full speed ahead. I dived to periscope depth to toy with him, but he didnt seemed to use active nor passive sonar... or maybe they were a green crew? Counted 15 DC drops, incorrect depth and location. (Around 100m from my position, detonation estimated at around 50m deep while i was diving to 120m at this time)
Good experience so far, a bit more fun than stock and more realistic than Ducimus first try. (His escorts were Uber, could track me easy at 180m with engines off)
