There are several threads about the Uber DD's. Try searching the SHIII forum and the SHIII mod forums (or is it fori ?).
I agree with your observation about stalking a lone sub. Four escorts would not leave a convoy unprotected for 24 hours while chasing a lone sub, especially since BDU now knows the location of the convoy and probably the speed and direction. In the last years of the war, air cover from escort carriers and sometimes float planes coupled with a abundance of DDs, this did occur and u-boats didn't last long.
