I guess in theory, if a your boat is all stop and the crew is silent, and the escort is unawares, then they shouldn't detect you (given WW2 anti-submarine technology). However, if they are suspicious (e.g., searching for you) then you're kinda busted. I mean, if an enemy DD is driving over top of you, you're in a bad situation. I acknowledge that at times I've felt that the AI can detect you without using active sonar - they just seem to 'see' you. But that's usually in cases where I have blown my approach and got too close. Also, I use TMO, which has notoriously sensitive DDs. I guess I just chalk it up to the concept that 'silent running' really isn't _silent_. That if you violate a basic circle of proximity to DDs, they will detect you, regardless. Mind you, I kinda like the idea of going silent and having a task force drive over me without detecting me.
What mods are you using?
