Destroyers Discussion (getting rid of pin point drops)

Hi CB, Thanks for the update. sad to say not much difference.
I just did a fresh install using RUB1.45*HT mods then inserted all your updates. I went back to sept 1943 campaign(same as before) ran across a convoy escorted by 5 DD's. All 5 hounded me for about 45 minutes pinging me only two or three times. 4 DD's left leaving one behind to keep me under-very tenacious. Same basic problem as before within the 1000m radius meter is green, DD goes outside the radius, meter goes red, DD gets a fix and comes back to me (meter is green)and drops a few. This went on for 3 hours very repetitive/boring.
Then I notice another DD approaching long distance. Both ships stopped at 1000m dead still (no pinging just sitting) I brought my boat to all stop and let her slowly sink(meter is red) after a half hour of this nonsense I attempted to escape at 1 kt/150m/SR.
I was able to escape to 3500m both (DD's still sitting). just to see what happens i brought boat to 100m, disabled SR, speed 3kts. That they heard
Both ships fired up and headed directly for me at high speed. at about 1500m one ship held back slowly zig zagging and the other proceeded to DC the crap out of me-he won.
Once the second DD showed up to lend a hand things got interesting again.

Observation:
When two or more DD's are involved in a hunt they work well together, some hanging back listening, others making DC runs. Great game play/great immersion
When only one DD is involved its very repetitive/round robin back and forth to the 1000m line, get a fix, attack, back to the line etc, etc,
I have tried every sort of evasion I can think of for hours but no way to escape but also no way for him to get accurate fix.
I have no clue how to solve this-Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
