Ha!
I know there's a specific sound for ships sinking that's supposed to be heard when the target sinks with the hydrophone. I don't think I've ever done a test on it to see how long it lasts. The trouble is if its not acting right, there may not be much we can do about it. I've never seen a parameter that tells the game
when to use a particular sound, we can only mod the sound itself.
I've not gotten to the AI subs, but I'm thinking we can have them heard like any other target ship.
