Smart skippers stay on the suface as much as possible...If you detect something usually you stay on the surface to plot an attack position, sonar works just as well surfaced as submerged, cept for S boats sonar only works submerged.
You get no further range in game submerged...Most use the lag trick, you notice your PC slowing, means something is nearby, go check sonar yourself, you can hear much better than the subs AI.
Patrolling dived is a poor tactic, diving simply because you detect a target is even worse, unless it's a plane, then dive
