I would not work neither in real life or in MP versus human controlled DD.

I do not know a sigle case of such method being used by U-boats during the war. Unless you had GNAT torps, the best thing you could do was to try to get deep, instead remaining at periscope depth or shallow.
Many people tried such methods while we played MP combats with SH II vs DC just to get their subs duly sunk.

But be happy maybe the AI escorts in SH V are as dumb as the ones in SH III so you can try your "realistic methods"
I played MP too in sh3 and didn't get always sunk by DD -yes i was using Zaunkönig T-5.
My method is not historical, but there's a video on youtube showing how to sink a merchant based on hydrophone data, so no zig-zag.
Back to subject i was complaigning that a feature that existed in SH3 (setting manually torp gyro) should be here in SH5 and it isn't. That not a progress but a step back.
