Are Japanese destoyers too good at detecting your sub??

They ping 24/7 in the game? It doesn't seem that way to me at all. I understand there is probably a max range you can hear the pings, but I never hear any pinging at all until I'm positive I've announced my presence (usually be detonating several hundred pounds of Torpex!). I wish it was the way you described, which would be more authentic.
