Escorts way too effective

I played the XXI scenario. Just wanted to test my theory that escorts late war are waaay overmodelled.

Dived to 30m went to 14knots. Used the external view to see how escorts reacted.....they still are able to drop DC at my depth no matter if I change or not...

Also, even late war, escorts cannot move at 14+knots and listen effectively, let alone use ASDIC...

But... Escort is pinging away following me when IM doing 14kn!!! ..in reality, escorts could never do this...even in 1945. Max speed for using ASDIC is 10kn.

ASDIC/Sonar even late war still did not have capacity to obtain depth.

Why is it modelled so in SHIII????
