That's why we can adjust it.

Yep. As I recall, that seems to have been a problem with all previous versions of Silent Hunter too. Those escorts that just never, ever made a mistake and never, ever lost sight of where you were. No fooling them at all. If Bernard took his hat off at 6,000 yds submerged, they'd all come racing to you and, once locked on to you, you could pretend to run away in their baffles, creep silently along the ocean floor, shut down everything and pretty much sit on the bottom for a whole day, spit decoys in every conceivable direction and they would not as much as
think about being deceived by your primitive wiles.
And the solution, in all the previous versions as well as this one, was always the talented, tireless modders working night and day to fix it.
