I go down to even 240 meters (isn't that somewhat more than crush depth for IXB?) and no matter what silent running setting I run at, the flower corvette can hear me. The only way to remain undetected is to turn off the engines - but then, the sub will sink uncontrollably and implode from the water pressure. The situation seems impossible to escape alive from. Also, the Flower Corvette has a draft of about 30-50cm, has to be something wrong there. It's hovering with it's propellers over the waterline.
Have a look through this thread. It explains how the AI works. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=104377 Also read the manual where it explains the DD runs and gives some ideas how to avoid depth charge attacks.
