It's been that way since Silent Service, Silent Service II, Silent Hunter, Silent Hunter II, and now Silent Hunter III.
It's best not to engage them at all, a practice I have made a point of doing since Silent Service
And least in Sh3 game, you can't take them out at 7000m with the deckgun like you could with all the rest.
Besides overusing of the hydrophones to find targets, engaging escorts is the largest exploit in a subsim.
