Strange Behaviour

Alright, so I thought I might have some fun with some neutral merchants by sneaking my boat under their keel and hopefully catching the shot on free-cam. So I dived to 25 meters, retracted all my periscopes and watched...

Here's when the strange thing happened, as the U-boat was about to go under the ship's keel, I see the merchant stopping and backing away! What gives? A surface scan showed no German aircraft in the vicinity nor any AI U-boats...

Here's my theory, since I'm playing GWX, the UMark indicator (little orange icon above the sub) was removed by the mod. However, I had downloaded and enabled Venatore's UMark mod shortly after. Could the merchants have somehow seen the indicator on floating on the surface and the game's sensors interpreted this as part of my U-boat, and therefore causing them to back away?
