The game renders the sub going from long scale to short scale fairly well. They will still make runs on you in long scale, so don't think you're safe. If you listen, the loudness of the sound changes, the tone doesn't. If they catch you broadside on shortscale, they really have you located. Some of the most dangerous runs are when they come in from the side instead of the stern. I'm also fairly sure the better their status, they're much better at when to throw. I almost always go flank to outrun the charges, but elite escorts will throw a pattern much further in front of you.
The bad thing in game, moreso with cam and contacts off is you have no direction of ping. Not sure how sound reflects in the sub, but certainly sonar would be able to detect the direction of the ping. When you have several around, it's often difficult to know who's pinging so you can narrow your profile.
