While I agree on the whole, I'd like to pick a couple of nits.

I might agree if you had complained about 1939, but in 1942 the tactics were improving dramatically. That is the era of Johnny Walker, after all.

Now after sneaking through new test, alert a destroyer and dive, creeping at one knot and running silent at 160 or so meters: All destroyers of Gibraltar, and it must be 40 or more they put in this mission, are closing in as if i was surfaced and waving a flag, with a torch: HERE, HERE ! Ok, this is what i wanted ...

Exactly how many u-boats successfully passed through the Straights of Gibralter in 1942?

They find you at periscope depth what seldomly happened in reality due to the surface noise at 0-20 meters...

Someone here has said that before, but is there documentation? If it's true, then why didn't all u-boats just stay at periscope depth where they couldn't be found? The American admonition "Run silent, run deep" was there for a reason.
I do, however, agree with your complaint about laser-guided depth charges. I haven't played SH5, but they were definitely there in the stock versions of the earlier games. But talented people have fixed the problem in SH3 and SH4, and it sounds like in SH5 as well.
Again, I agree about u-boats sneaking into convoys at night and not being caught, but...

AND they did NOT find a U-boat at periscope depth in anything than completely calm seas.

Again you repeat this claim. Is there documentation? Again I ask: If this is true, do any of the u-boat guides advise it (honest question - I don't know)? If it was such a good tactic, can you show where everybody used it and weren't detected?

I wonder why people now try to improve the destroyer AI ?

Perhaps because players complained about being on the surface in broad daylight and not being seen, even when they shot the destroyers. Your complaints about underwater detection and accuracy are valid, but when a modder talks about "improving" AI he's not necessarily talking about making it more accurate, but making it more realistic.
