If you read through the post here, you'll see where they talk about the AI sensors.
Turns out if you try to tweek them, you end up with AI DD's that start acting wrong (evidently everything from letting you take your u-boat right up to them and they don't see you, to them tracking you down and killing you every time).
Apparetnly it's such a fine tuned thing that they can't get it any better than it is, simply because of how the game engine is designed.
So, short answer is from the GWX team is "No." not that they don't want to , but that it's set the best they could.
They did suggest that if it seems to hard or bad for anyone, that their mod can always be removed and go back to playing either the stock game or other mods. They are not being mean about this, just stating a fact that they've done the best they could, but that there was nothing else that they could do.
Basically you'll have to decide for yourself like I did. I too don't like how some of the DD AI's act, especially in 39 and 40. But I like the mod so much that I'm willing to put up with it and simply look at it as that much more of a challenge for me. If I ever tire of it, there's nothing stopping me from removing the mod and trying something else.
Hope this helped!
