I've not seen the merchants in a convoy stop but I've seen the DDs run the gamut from incompetent to good but even good they're not too much of a threat. IRL the Japanese DDs werent as good at ASW as the Brits, who were masters, but I think in SH4 they're just a little too tame. I know they wouldnt work a contact like the British who would keep a U-Boot down all day and night. Instead the Japanese would work it for at most 6-8 hours with a few exception. Jap DD skippers were notorious for claiming kills after a few runs. I'm not sure how sensitive there sonar should be to reflect this.
