Weather conditions has ALOT to do with it. I did alot of testing in a sort of fixed enviorment where i adjusted the noise/wave factors and experimented to see when the stealth meter would go red, at X range and Y speed.
I repeated those tests like 3 to 5 times in the same setting at each given range and speed settings, in 0 winds, ranging up to 15 winds. Well, im sure you know what my findings were. Waves generated by 15 kt winds make them relativly deaf, and in acutal play most of the time theres a high wind blowing. The trick, i thought, was finding a setting that worked well for all conditions. The problem i found was compensating for one weather condition would make for uber or deaf passive sonar in other conditions. *shrug*
