Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

the key to escaping is to vary your speed, depth and course. think three dimensionally.

other things to consider for successful escape:

don't ever sink all merchies in a convoy otherwise the escorts will have no reason to leave the area other than to hunt you...and i do not believe that they have fuel restrictions.

one or more escorts will mill around where you have successfully sunk a merchie. i suspect that this activity emulates picking up survivors however if you are detected in that area, escorts will steam right through any/all lifeboats in an effort to sink you.

plan your escape before you attack. the best avenues will be in the direction that the convoy came from...or in that general direction. the escorts have no set path in searching for you but, in general, they will continue on the same path as they steaming, before you attacked.

good luck, Herr Kaleun.
