ddrgn...question about DD behavior with this mod.

I recently installed and attacked an escorted convoy. As I torpedoed and sunk 3 ships in the convoy, over the course of 10 minutes or so, the DD escorts continued to churn on in oblivion as if nothing was happening.

Then, a fourth wounded ship was dead in the water and the convoy sailed on without it. I set up 2000 meters from the strucken ship, and waited for the convoy to pass on to about 12km away. I was out of visual range of the convoy and escorts. I then surfaced and finished off the wounded ship with my deck gun. IMMEDIATELY the DD escorts, from 12k away, turned around and came full speed towards my position, just as they should. They then accurately guessed my location and set up a nice search pattern for about 20 mins. It was MUCH better than stock AI.

But what gives for their behavior while the ships in the convoy were being torpedoed? It seems the DD's "Feared Hunters" modified behavior only occured when I surfaced to use the deck gun?

Any experience with unresponsive DD's when attacking from submerged?
