Long battery life is in line with historical capabilities. A Type VIIC U-boat could go about 80 miles at 4 knots, and the Type IX about 65 miles at 4 knots while submerged on a battery charge, so having a flat battery after evading only 10 depth charge patterns seems a bit on the low side to me. Historically, the hunter-killer groups just camped overhead until psychological factors or battle damage forced the boat to the surface or killed it.

By the way, does SH4 play pretty much the same? I have it and mods installed, but haven't really been playing yet?

Hmm... your best bet is probably to check the SH IV fora. IIRC the stock escort behavior isn't very effective, but modders have been tweaking things to make them more effective.
