What's a good depth for conducting hydrophone searches? 20m? 40m? Does it change depending on surface conditions?

I haven't seen any evidence that the game engine varies u-boat hydrophone sensitivity with u-boat depth.

Yeah I forgot that detail. The way it works out is if something moves 1.5km on your map in the 3:15's, then it is moving at 15kts. It's so self explanatory I forgot that there even was a conversion.

The hydrophone doesn't seem to work above a depth of 10m. So periscope depth is good enough for me. Don't want to waste time getting upside again when I want to chase it.

Dissaray,

Check out the link in my signature, especially the intel map.
