I was waiting to see when this would pop up LOL. Just let me know what value(s) to change and it can be done.
The value is in data\Cfg\Sim.cfg. It's the following:

"[AI detection]
Lost contact time=40 ;[min] (was 15)"

This is from the RUb version of the file. For those people willing to experiment with this figure, the standard SH3 setting is:

"[AI detection]
Lost contact time=15 ;[min]"

This can be set to any number. After about 40 it gets a bit dodgy though, as the escorts lose contact with the convoy they are supposed to be guarding. The longer the escorts stick around the longer they tend to keep you submerged.
