help with IRAI: The All-Knowing destroyer

Okay, just returned from being killed by an extraordinary stubborn, absolutely thorough and relentless destroyer... and not the first time I cross one... It got me totally fed-up

I'll ask you guys some help on how you escape destroyers

second mission with OHII during 1939. Crossed one destroyer in the baltic. I'v been taken out of compression time when it was 5400m away during a calm weather night or so. It went on to chase me, so I ordered a crash dive, then went on a speed of 2 kn. Early destroyer didn't even have an asdic, but a eventually successfully made a DC pass right on top of me. Damages were minor, I went on. The very most of the time, he was lurking around, doing circle kinda far from me, not being able to find me close enough to DC me.

The problem is, not matter what speed I tried, no matter how hard I knuckled from port to starboard, changing course often. He would ALWAYS be lurking around the same distance or so, sometimes closing, sometimes moving away, doing circle kinda far but ALWAYS keeping track enough to follow me. Schleichfart or what, he would sometimes do a DC pass even though he was out of DC.

Hours turned into a day and more (i'm not even sure) and yet... he was still there, keeping pretty much the same distance. No matter what I do, gradually increasing speed to try and put some distance whenever he was going farther, reducing next to 0, from bottom of the ocean to periscope depth... pointless!!

it seems like it was always COMPLETELY aware of my very exact position, this, even without an ASDIC!!! like it was all knowing but just making circles from some distance to try and makes it look like the A.I didn't artificially known.

Of course eventually, I ran out of batteries and had to surface and got killed...

Seems completely unrealistic that some early destroyer are able to track you down so accurately and thoroughly, not even abandoning combat when they're out of DC...

So my question, just HOW do you guys cope and tricks you out of destroyer using IRAI and mods??? because I'm totally lost... It's not the first time it happens for me

even if I keep being at schleichfart

Many thanks!
