I have a question regarding the detection capabilities of AI-controlled units:

If, while in shallow water (under 150ft), the player sub is resting on the bottom, does this reduce the chance of detection for the surface units? My understanding of active sonar is that, if a target is resting on the bottom in moderate clutter, active sonar effectiveness is significantly decreased. Is this true and, if so, is this modelled into the program?

Currently running stock 1.4 without mods. Only been using the program for a few weeks, and I'd like to get a handle on the vanilla game before I start changing stuff.

Thanks!
