I agree that there are limitations in the SH4 simulation but it makes perfect sense for a piece of sound gear not actually being submerged in the water not to be able to hear what might be in the water so the SH4 sound man is evidently Kent Clark and has super hearing.You seem to be confusing various things causing interference in a situation where the sound gear actually is in the water.I am talking about sound gear actually not being in the water and with US Navy subs the passive gear was above the water while the sub was on the surface but the active gear exluding the S-boats was below the water while surfaced.So active sonar while surfaced yes passive sonar no though I doubt the active sonar would be very accurate in such a setting.

well obviously I was not talking about sonar equipement which is
outside the water, many fleet boats had their sonar heads located under the hull.
