Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Curiosly, I remember that in "aces of the deep" (a 15-y old game by now) some things would happen that in my point of view would seem realistic. It happened to me several times, for instance, that a DD would speed up like hell to chase me on the surface and then suddenly slow down to ridiculous speeds - meaning probably that the DD just suffered a breakdown due to the captains harsh orders.
Where are this kind of unexpected things in SH4? That's worth modding.
