Claryvoyant Escorts?

Before reinstalling some months ago, the destroyers in my copy of SH3 were actively cheating in a psychic sort of way. Patrol after patrol, they always knew exactly where I was. I sometimes lay quiet, 70m under the waves, with silent running engaged, and listen for ships. In the situations where a destroyer happened by, it would instantly head towards me, from 20km away, then start pinging and attack. In all cases, I had sustained no damage. Fortunately, they seem to have relented for the time being, and the reinstall has fixed things. Stupid cheating AI...

This is exactly how my last career ended.
April 1941 grid AM02 listening to a convoy.
Two destroyers attacked out of nowhere and THE END.

With the researching I have done, up until 1941, sub hunting was really limited and was meant to keep the boot away from the convoy. Later on however....

And yes, I understand what you all are saying, because I have had the moments of wtf, there is no way I bungled this approach.....
