I've done maybe 6 convoy attacks and even when enemy boats come near me I don't seem to hear any asdic pings and they drop no depth charges. I'm in 1942 so this is particularly strange as i'm used to getting nearly destroyed after each convoy attack.

Is this a known issue with time-compression or have I just been incredibly lucky? If so is there a limit outside the base game tc limits where you can still play and be detected by enemies?

Edit: I'll add this is when I'm submerged, they're perfectly capable of finding me on the surface with radar.
x32 shouldn't be a problem but you can try a lower number if desired. However, the escorts in <insert version here> aren't very good anyway at any stage of the war.
Either are the aircraft.
