Just to add my twopenneth.
I remember in SHII when it first came out the same problem occurred then. It was impossible to get anywhere near a convoy without the DD's latching on to you. When playing SHIV I've noticed on numerous occassions this same problem occurring. From all the books I have read if a sub is on the surface at night with no moon it is very difficult to detect until it makes it's attack.
Eventually the dev boys for SHII brought out a patch which gave more realism to the actual conditions regarding detection.
