As you should in US fleet boats. US fleet boats could pick up ships on their sonar when they were running on the surface. Of course if they submerged they could pick up contacts even better.

In SH4, the US boats pick up relatively distant sonar contacts when running on the surface.

The German U-Boats could not, they had to be submerged 60' - 80' or so to pick up sonar contacts.

I hope this is clear...

Happy Hunting!
