One I loaded IRAI, the destroyer escorts seemed to get a little bit ticked off about a U-Boat making them look bad. I sink one ship and "here they come". Fast dive and wait patiently until they are searching another sector. Come back up and Fire again and "here they come"!! This time they're not so quick to leave the area!
Anyway, you can see my point. The later the war gets, the better they seem to get as well.
Gute Jagd!
With IRAI you really have to start forming wolf packs when ever possible . This means radioing in a convoy and hope for a message saying there are subs near and a wolfpack is heading your way . You have to shadow a convoy for days sometimes until the other subs turn up . If no wolfpack then you have to decide is it worth attacking the convoy . Makes the game damn hard .
