Maybe not that bad! At "fast" speeds they're somewhat or toatally deaf sonarwise. You can still go flank and manouver. You can even cosider dashing towards the DDs. "Listen" to their screws or have your sonarman report contact speed. As long as RPMs ar high or the sonarman reports a "fast" contact continue on flank. If the DD hits the breaks wich means he's putting his "stethoscope" on, stop caughing, goto low speed, silent running dive and jive (you know what to do ). There is a possibility they'll "overshoot" your actual position, speeding to the location you were last reported.
This "maneuver" is doable in stock 1.4. More aggressive mods? I don't know. I hear that with certain mods, DDs can "listen" to a squid farting at 100m depth! But can they do it moving at 20+ kts?
