Now with that being said a quick question:
What is the philosophy and ideas behind the ASW efforts in Fall of the Rising Sun? I know I am a sneaky Bastard, but after attacking two convoys that were well protected by escorts, not a single one dropped a depth charge. I did get some active pings looking for me but I did manage to find a thermal layer & rig for silent running for my escapes.
I started my career on Dec 8th so its very early in the war and I am thinking the Japanese are both inexperienced and not well equipped with dealing with American submarines.

FOTRSU ASW AI's are modeled so it mimics historical efforts by the Japanese. The IJN did not put a lot of effort in early war ASW. They never even hit the sub pens at Pearl that is how insignificant they considered submarine warfare in ww2.
Things will get, less easy and from what I have been told the next installment will have a bit harder AI ASW while still trying to mimic it historically speaking. I am looking forward to harder harbor raiding.
