I have a hard time with that one.

I guess "realism" is relative. C'est la guerre.

At 4kts, and 2000m you can definately be heard by hydrophones given the right conditions.

You aren't simply automatically detected.

What was your aspect ratio in reference to the searching unit?

Did you fire T1 steamers?

Were you running silent? (4 kts implies that you were not.)

What was the sea state.

There are too many unanswered questions here for you to state that the sensors are modelled by us arbitrarily or for you to imply that we just modelled these things haphazardly with disregard to realism.
