I am talking from memory and I may be confusing old threads: I remember reading here that escorts detection parameters, in game, of us (u-boat) have also to do with speed and heigh. Again, I am not sure of this.
In my game, GWX3+several mods, until mid 41 or sometimes later, with a calm sea state, decks awash and going like 3 to 5 knots, I could get very close to the convoy and sometimes the lateral escorts do pass like 800m near me with out changing course to attack me.
I also experience the opposite, thinking that it is going to be a nice attack and the sky is sudden full of star shells and the escorts are coming to attack.
