It looks interesting as a screenplay but for Kilo driver that kind of mission will be very boring. Kilo haven't chance for breaking contact in open seas. Any MPA can drop sonobuoys around and track submarine several hours. In real it could be posssible only with heavy weather change but in DW it is impossible. Other option is heavy civilian traffic but nobody launch LAM attack close to other ships and few more ships aren't problem for AI.

Breaking contact can be implemented by checking detection triggers in time interval. For example 30 minutes or more. It requires different triggers for each discret time value.

US forces should be in "peace time". In war time AI will engage Kilo immediatly.

In my opinion main problem is to make scenario interesting for player. Giving Kilo information about breaking or holding contact is unrealistic. It means, you will spend several hours doing nothing interesting and after this time your only prize will be message "good work/bad work".
