The best depth to not be heard by DD's for sub was always near surface. Hydrophones and Asdic are able to hear most effectively if you are deep.
Great strategy in convoy attacks was sneaking in periscope depth because DDs was unable to hear anything so closely to surface.

In TWOS right now you are always much better heard near of surface (with exception if you are fully emerged, than you are not heard at all)
I always go deep. Escorts seem (some time back) to be very confused when I run around pd depth. Just didn t seem right...like harbour raids don t seem right.
Not sure what they d do in real life but I m sure they had ways
