OK.
The file you are after is SH4/Data/Library/USSubParts/Sensors_sub_US.sim

Open the sim file into S3D.
You are looking for entries 46, 48, 52 and 66.
Open each entry up. You will see sat the top of the entry the sensor name, in this case hydrophone. Double check this to make sure you are editing the correct type of sensor!
Look for the value for Max Sensor Height.
I think it is currently set at 0 or -1.
Change this to -6.
JSGME the whole thing in case this FUBARs anything!

There you go, job done. Hydrophone is now inoperable on the surface. Kicks in at around radar depth (differs for each boat!)

EDIT: you may want to try a slightly lower number if you spend a lot of time in S Boats, as their periscope depth is a good 10-15ft shallower than the fleetboats.
