Very true. Unfortunately, in every submarine sim since Silent Service, hydrophones are more effective than surface search radar.
Resisting the urge to do 10 sound checks a day, but just at dawn and dusk will greatly increase the level of realism in your careers.
By the looks of Dize's careers in his Sig, I would say that he patrols on the surface most of the time.
