You're overlooking soviet doctrine here. Until very late in 70s the soviets had a pretty stark disadvantage when it came to quieting, sonar and electronics. While they closed much of the gap starting with the Victor III and later Akula, prior to these being available they relied on using active sonar much more than US subs ever did.
