michaeljcaboose9's experience was "by chance" and not normal.

in previous releases of Silent Hunter, the sea bed does not affect the performance of the enemy's hydrophones, unlike real life.

in real life, the submarine world "discovered" this phenomenon while trying to evade attack. simulating that same effect with a game app like SH4 or 5 is totally different task altogether, and probably not worth the effort from Ubi's POV, as they would have had to program the entire sea bed to act a variable magnetic field, as it is in real life. the hydrophones in SH are not programmed to detect a submarine by magnetism, only by sound.
