The ai behaves funny too. I once had a circle of about 10 destroyers shadow my submerged sub for about 3 days game time... Now I had to surface and I was running at Half speed and they still just shadowed me (can see sonar report from them,but not see them.) Then I would submerge... and still just shadow me like they could magically see me from well over visual range and sonar range.I changed course they changed course. Finally I just went to flank speed... For about 1/2 day slowed back down to half.... Yup you guessed it they caught back up in about 3 hours. LOL....
Finally I went to full speed for about 2 whole days and finally they never caught back up.
The AI is BROKEN.
And your missing some key features about the AI I thinks. Your right about what your saying right now.. But the AI in SHIV and SHV would go and investigate an attack. They fail to do this, which in turn they fail to ever get you into sonar range to start up there interest as you say.
And with the odd behavior that I just mentioned up top... Something is screwy with the AI. Not even in detection range but yet they can shadow you for a long time, but don't attack. LOL..... Funny stuff. I know what your trying to do but the DEVS need to fix it... Don't try to tell them its ok... Its not ok its broke.
