you pick up either the random depth charging of a distant convoy or random radio calls from supposed other boats.
its just a question of random event generation. if you want to see other boats, then they can be presented as just another skimmer, is it a friendly or enemy?
i think the real opportunity for actual visuals would be some sort of animated sequence for milkcow meetings mid atlantic.

probabaly would work but i would geuss it is easier to code an AI sub, than it is to script these random events then put something in place to ensure Escorts respond in a convincing manner to the presence of ghost Uboats.
The Escort Ai has to determine, what to attack and how to attack it 7 when to give up... etc
What you discribe would almost be on par with an AI uboat without a 3d model attached.
To external camera users it will look like it is a horrible bug!
unless i have misunderstood....
