That would be truely horrid design IMO.
That would mean that if a DD has a 2% chance of spotting you every minute, with a bad seed the die would be rolled at the beginning, and the DD would never see you after any number of tries because instead od having a shot at "rolling" a 1 or 2 every minute, it will have rolled "5" the beginning of the patrol, and you'd effectively be invisible until you do something only seen on a roll of 5% or better.

Well there are alot of variables involved take that 2% chance to spot and surface next to it and it now has a 100% chance to spot you.
Run under that target at flank speed at periscope depth it has a good chance to "hear" you.
Run under that target in silent at 220 feet of water and it has a lot less of a chance to hear you.
There are many many variables its not like you flip a coin at the beginning of a campaign heads you win tails you die.
