Real subs would have been able to hide from active sonar near the bottom, looking about the same to sonar as any other rocks. But we can't do this in SHIII. Trying to do so just gets your boat killed, so I've read. I've only played with a Type II so far, and it's only mid-1940, so I'm mostly able to avoid ASW threats completely.
