Not true in my experience actually.
I've only seen ships change course when they become aware of your sub in SH4, and once or twice because they happened to reach a waypoint and changed course to head toward the next one. I distinctly remember DD's in SH3 speeding up or slowing down in an effort to avoid incoming torpedos, but I've never seen that in SH4. They do make a lot of semi random speed changes as part of their normal ASW behaviour, but it's not quite the same.

Not that I don't want this to be true, but I've never seen a Japanese vessel appear at all concerned about the wakes streaming toward them. Perhaps they figure all the American torpedos are duds, anyway. Anyone else seen this?
