I think that's what was getting me... I assumed if I could still hear the pings, then they were still effective. I honestly can't remember if you could hear pings below ASDIC depth in SH4.

I spent a while hunting around the sub for the 3D rpm gauges and found them in the engine room... dropped my speed to about half a knot/40rpm just now after attacking a fairly hefty convoy and got away quite clean after much less time than before! Cheers for the advice dude
