Of the few decent movies available I don't remember seeing it either.
But how much have you read or seen of sub skippers getting easy down-the-throat shots because the destroyers were stupid? Ducimus has said many times that the point of TMO was not to make it technically realistic, but to make the player behave in a more realistic manner. You don't read about destroyers zigging on an attack run, because they probably didn't, but also because the sub captain wasn't looking through the periscope lining up a shot - he was diving, twisting and turning.
