The do begin to arm themselves from '42 on, so IF they see you, and you're too close, they can really dish out some damage or even sink you if you're not careful, but they don't get better at spotting you.
Military escorts (destroyers and such) DO get better. Not at spotting per sé, but at hunting you down when you're submerged.
They'll just keep circling and pinging you and they keep throwing depthcharges a lot longer than earlier on in the war. Besides that, I find that when they spot me, it's no longer one or two that'll try to hunt me, but three or more. Now that's a real pain to get rid off...

Save the African coastline the South Atlantic doesn't really become fully populated until after the US enters the war, even then you still need to wait for Brazil and Mexico to move from neutral to ally to open up all the tankers that move around in that general region.
Don't forget to initiate any crew members properly when you cross the equator
