I have a few questions and didn't want to open a new thread...

with TWOS does depth impact hydrophone accuracy?

Not accuracy but range yes, only for your AI sonarman. Bellow 30-35m, he will have maximum detection range. This is added to simulate surface noise interference...

Also does your angle in relation to the target impact their chance of detecting you?

Yes, target surface factor is modeled in the game...SH5 controllers support such settings, not only for hydro/sonar but for visual and radar sensors as well.

Can enemies detect things like depth under bow pings,

I don't think so...

and finally, do things liker a sonar shadow zone exist in the sim / is the layer and how it impacts sound modelled?

Yes, although in TWoS AI sensors and skills are somewhat improved in order to assure certain punishment for reckless captains...
