You neglected to mention the depth they settled at. Detonation of an SLMM/mobile mine is a function of proximity, not noise levels or seeker cones. So naturally the deeper you plant them, the closer you have to get. (The Sov above was probably about 75yd away horizontally, 250 ft vertically.)

That's the point, they don't settle at any depth, they stop and stay at the depth they are fired at. In the example I quoted, that was with my sub at a depth of 18, this being the depth they transited to the area at. Having done that they came to a halt
at that depth,
and stayed at that depth, the ship passed within approximately 30 feet laterally of it and the water was only 13m deep at that point anyway, so it most definitely was not 250 feet vertically nor 75 yards. I've watched it with 'Show Truth' on and repeated it a few times too, and frankly if it was any closer, it would have hit the thing, let alone set off a proximity fuse or magnetic anomaly field detector. I know what sets them off incidentally, I was merely describing the noise level to indicate just how close the thing was when it passed. Believe me, I would love it if they worked as in your pictures, but they don't when I use them, simple as that.
