I know this doesn't help, but I just had to say it: The most realistic (or at least believable) experience I ever had was with Aces Of The Deep. There were mostly average destroyers, but every now and then I'd get one that was like a bloodhound, always sniffing me out and nearly impossible to lose. And then one time I had one charge my position, so I went deep and started praying. To my surprise and delight he rolled right over me at flank speed and then slowed down and started searching about a mile beyond my position. He stayed there until my first torpedo hit a merchant and then he went racing back to the convoy only to start looking somewhere else. It gave the impression that he wasn't dumb but actually picked up a false sonar contact and followed it.
I've never had any sim since do something even remotely like it. SH3 has come close a couple of times, with escorts dropping charges in the distance.
