My type II Hydrophone gives updates while surfaced. Is this a bug? I just started a new campaign with a type II. The only thing I used previously was a type VIIB.

I thought it was odd when I asked the hydrophone PO to track a merchant and after I surfaced he was still giving me updates. I kept going until gradually his updates whet from bearing 268, 254 etc until he reached 178 then I knew the ship was behind me.

This is in the stock game by the way. Also when I am surfaced and manually scan the hydrophone, there is no signal, which is correct and yet If I asked for updates when submerged and then surface I get continual updates. This is annoying because I don't want to cheat and I also want to play the Type II but not if the AI is going to give me a crutch like this. Is there anyway to fix this so I don't get updates while surfaced. I am playing with 100 realism.
