3 - Can checking for the depth under the keel result in detection (I do not know the specifics, but I am guessing the signal just bounces back up to the submarine, so I was wondering whether it is the same in RFB : I just want to make sure)?

1- The other guys answered that! Go deep. Weather is an important factor too. The worse the weather is, the better it is for you!

2- You basicaly answered your own question there. Yes profile parallel/perpendicular etc has an effect on being detected. In TMO you get uber destroyers so it's best to hide early!

3- I'm not sure about RFB, but in stock and TMO a "ping" to get depth will alert any destroyers to your where abouts. I don't recommend it.
