Well, considering the fact that the DDs in SH3 sometimes work and sometimes they don't, that seems realistic to me. In real life, they didn't have a sub-hunting handbook that told them what tactics to use... Ok, so they probably did, but it's not like every time they would follow the same boring patterns.
Think hypothetical situation in SH3. Let's say that there are three DDs protecting a convoy and you manage to sink one of the cargo ships. Isn't it conceivable that only one of the DDs might decide to hunt for you, while the other two continue to sail on? Likewise, isn't it also conceivable that all three DDs might hunt for you? Who knows, maybe even none of the DDs might decide to hunt for you. Well, just like in real life, anything is possible.
But onto the point of uber DD detection, yes they are crazy good most of the time. Once they find me, usually I'm locked and as good as dead.
CB brings up an intersting point by saying that we could up the effectiveness of sonar coating. Even if it doesn't work, I like the idea because it is "out of the box." We should find some more "out of the box" ideas.
