That's a tough question. I've never played the whole war thru to the end, only thru Aug or Sept 1942. Right now I'm in late April 1942 having started a whole new campaign after patching to 1.2, then restarting again in the East Asia theatre to avoid the IDL bug.
All I can say is, the last 3 convoy engagements I've had (in the last 3 days of game-time, the convoys are thicker than fleas on a dog, at 1 point I had 2 large convoys detected on radar at same time!) the DD's have been competent at worst, and scary-accurate with their DC runs and tracking at their very best.
And they've been on the ball, within minutes of the 1st torpedo hit they're lashing me with sonar and converging on my position, if I'm lucky I've got time to let loose a couple more before crash diving.
Most of my experience in the past is, I go to PD, select a target, put a torp into it and the whole convoy comes to screeching halt, then the DD's sit around and sniff each other's *sses while I pick, choose, and sink targets at will.
Suddenly that's changed, don't know why. Maybe it's totally random and I've got 3 bad-boys in a row? All I know is suddenly I'm having to
work for my supper, and SH4 has got a lot more fun
