This is a pretty basic binary AI...

The tactic which works best (but not perfect) for me is when I hear the pings and the escorts are fairly close I just go flank at or close to periscope depth and constantly go either hard to port or hard to starboard till I get a good torpedo shot. Our uboat appears to be able to outmaneuver the escorts rather easily in this fashion. The escorts chase but most times cant get over me good enough to get their depth charges on me. With patience and focus though I can usually get a good shot and blast them.
