I know from books that destroyers have often tracked torpedo tracks to find the subs so the captains were forced to dive deep before their torpedos arrived. In Sh4 i dont have to worry about that, i can even let my perescope up all the time at no risk at all.

Theyre also deaf. Or seem not to use their accustic sensors. I can go ahead flank 500 yards next to a destroyer and they dont notice me.

Maybe there are bugs involved but if not, thats way to easy and not realistic.

This is exactly what I was experiencing with my first install & 1.1 patch.
After countless missions, nothing was changing much so in frustration
I uninstalled the game completely and reinstalled it again with the patch.
Something MUST have been wrong with my first install because on the
second, the whole game now came alive and things went to normal.
I'm not saying that the escorts were uber but they went looking for me
and found me on more then 1 occasion. BTW, in the first install, I NEVER
heard pings, on the 2nd, I do all the time. Its like the 2 installs were
totally different games...
