Yeah, if you are expecting to be able to run at 8kts under the layer, you are expecting too much from it. The only thing the layer does is protect you from precise active sonar, it doesn't protect you from their hydrophones. In Real Life, in some cases, the enemy wouldn't even get a reflection (i.e. outside the critical angle). In other cases, it would be a hundred yards off your actual position.
In the game, in my experience, the layer completely protects you from active sonar. Race to get under that layer, but after that you want to be moving quiet (~2kts).
