i entered a convoy ( of wich there are an insane amount) and didnt bother to submerge till i was well within visual range, i didnt exactly sneak in either. and ran along at standard speed. the destroyers never bothered to come back and look for me.
a second one the next day spotted me and engaged with surface guns, i was hit ( no audio confirmation that i took damage) and submerged. dived to about 30 metres, and went silent running.
now i dont think it even made an attack run, i wasnt depth charged and simply made 2 course changes and left the area.
i seem to recall those damn things in SH3 haunting me for hours while i ran around in circles at the bottom of the sea.
ill look into it more when i get back from work. as it is i do find it a little worrying.

Sounds about right for 1941 Japanese destroyer behavior.
