Don't forget that the crew level (rookie to elite) and the crew state (alerted or non) has a lot to do with how well they can find you.

I have during my current patrol a small !TASK FORCE! of two armed merchant cruisers (the troopship) and these pigs must be elites, since during the past 5 attempts to sink even one of these suckers at night in perfect conditions (for me) they always end up spotting me; last time I tried to fire from the hip at one and the other rams by boat killing it instantly. (I was at PD on a moonless night)

This is the same career/same mods where just last patrol I was able to con my boat on the surface at 12kts willy nilly through a large troop convoy in even less favorable conditions. We're talking passing ships 100m astern, with his buddy behind him staring right at me.
