Hmmm... I just got the game so I haven't been able to get enough time in the Command Room for me to really evaluate the AI's ASW effectiveness.
I was able to pentetrate a convoy somewhat easily earlier. There were three Akizuka destroyers. The closest two were on me pretty quickly, but seeing as I at 7knts and not running silent (and in TC so I don't have too much info on their initial detection and early closure) so I expected to be detected. I dove to about 130ft, dodged a few terribly emplyed Depth Charge runs and continued on past them. They continued to run search and attack patterns on an old position for pretty much the rest of my attack. Even after lighting up three merchants and sending them down they were just starting to turn back to investigate the trouble.
