Super Sensitive Hearing Escorts in NYGM

Qestion regarding NYGM. Last night I attacked a convoy (1940). Dove to periscope depth at 10k from front of convoy and waited. At approximately 4k from front end of the convoy set speed to 1kt, silent running at 20 meters. Lead escort, at approximately 2 k from me, turned in my direction and zig-zagged to me. Dropped 4-5 DC's right on top of me. I took big damage. Turned around, this time pinging, and dropped another 4-5 DC's and killed me.

Is this escort behavior normal or what?

I also play GW and the escorts are no way as tuned in to me when I am crawling at 1kt and on silent running mode. There is also much less pinging in GW. Is this more normal or is NYGM overly amped up?

Does anyone know what the detection ranges are in NYGM for an elite DD or escort crew at 1,2,3,4,5,6-8 kts in ideal surface conditions with a u-boat on 3kts or less and on silent running mode.

Any help or clarification on the above is as usual, very appreciated.
