"The All Knowing" destroyer syndrome

Just attacked a convoy and started to get hunted by two destroyer. they would ping relentlessly, as expected but man...!

No matter what I would do, they would always track me faultlessly downright to a precision my top of the line car GPS couldn't even reach! no matter what evasive maneuver I would try during a depthcharge run, the destroyer would follow my exact turn even double turns, being at silent running or full speed. Sure they would miss a lot of Depthcharges but...

!!! Inbetween those, no matter how hard I would try to change course, change depth, sticking to the bottom or sticking to near periscope depth to avoid asdic detection cone, running at silent or mid speed, they would always track me with the precision of a GPS.

Damn! even when they ran out of depthcharges, they wouldn't even abandonned but would relentlessly do circles around me for a whole day!!! eventually forcing me to surface where I got killed.

How do you guys do to evade from such all knowing über creatures?!?

Are there some techniques I somehow didn't figured out??

That AI is so messed up

On second hand, maybe it's that ducimus destroyer AI tweaking, I remember having the same syndrome with trigger maru overhauled...
