I only want to know if this is accounted at all in the game, yes or no, and with all important mods like TMO, FORTSU. I guess in RFB, the most realistic mod, this is surely simulated.

Thank you to let me know!

in my experience, yes, your subs aspect plays a part in being detected.
also, darkness, wave activity (high wind speed), fog, rain, and most importantly, enemy ability.
please keep in mind that there are four levels of competence for each enemy ship...even the merchies, who will fire on you if they "see" you and if you are within range of their limited but lethal weapons.
would write more but i have to get back to work.
