Seems like the Mechants are better at detecting you than the IJN.
I contacted a group of heavy cruisers just south of Truk on Nov 3rd 1943 and after a 2 day chase that ended in the Bismark sea I'd managed to sink 5 of them,and didnt get detected by any of them until after I'd carried out my attack even though the 1st attack was in daylight with light fog and was around 1000 yds from the nearest one.
Later in the patrol I found an unescorted convoy of 6 Merchants in the Bismark sea. Easy pickings I thought, how wrong I was! Although it was similar conditions and my attack strategy was the same I couldn't get within 2000 yds before they detected me. Doesn't make sense sometimes.
I'm not complaining though, 5 Heavy Cruisers in one encounter is the stuff dreams are made of.
