Pings were heard from DDs (never heard them in first install) and I was taking
damage unless I did everything smart. I had my game back....
CONCLUSION: Something didn't load right in the first install, end of line.......

I heard that several times from different members by now, so while I give that possibility some merit, it doesn't make a lot of sense at all. Either the AI skill is *so random* in game that it seems like you play a different game every other day, or it's really the installation process that is bugged as opposed to the game itself. Thing is, I've never yet heard of a bugged installation process of a game that would install different AI characteristics / logics etc. It's hard to believe.
P.S.: I also installed the game twice by now and did not see a difference in AI behaviour at all. I still get dumb DDs where I can run surfaced pretty closely in daylight (albeit in rough seas in a recent case, but visibility good, I think they should have seen me) and other times they spot my scope just like that. Have not heard pinging yet. But I'm still in 1942, so maybe there were less active-sonar equipped Jap DDs underway.
