Anyone else notice the depths aren't right?

Anyone else notice that the depths represented on the graphics aren't right? Its mainly in shallow water ops. For example, a bottom depth of 300 feet should be about as deep as a sub is long, but its represented as much deeper to the proportion of the submarine than it should be.

Am I the only one that's noticed this?

This is actually a very good point

I thought something looked odd....

I guess realistically subs don't really have a lot of room to play with depth wise.

I suppose this is affected by the selected scale? The default is not 1:1, did anyone test in 1:1?
