They're nerfed so that you don't end up with your map contacts being perfect every time like Silent Hunter's. The bad part of that is what you found: They're really stupid. Does Sub Command have the 'Expert' auto crew? You might give them a try. Dangerous Waters has a tab in the top left corner of auto crew able screens where you can activate and deactivate them at will. Sonalysts did listen to these complaints; they just didn't fix them until the next release.
