Anyway, I was at a deadstop, rigged for silent, when the flower corvette in front passes right by me and makes a U-turn. I thought it was just acting normally when it starts heading for me again. Before I know it, it starts pinging me and I hear the "We've been detected" warning. How did it know I was there? Do they have a passive radar or something that's always active?

I posted a thread pretty much along these same lines a while back.
There was a pretty lively disscussion...but the one and only thing I gained from it all that I could put into practical use was.....
Do Not Get Directly In Front Of A Convoy.
This advice worked for me..now I make sure to come in from the side to attack any convoy.
I know...I know...getting in front of a convoy,then lying in ambush, makes good tactical sense and this tactic worked superbly in CAOD...but sadly in this Sim ...the escorts seem to find you no matter how quite and/or deep you are...once you position your boat directly in the convoy's path.
