This is more like discussion so sorry if it's a dumb question.

If we are a big submarine wouldn't monsters be scared of going near us? Especially if we also shoot them? And even if they are similair sized eouldn't they think twice?

I agree it's somewhat hard to justify why practically all animals on Europa would be this aggressive towards the subs. It's of course something they do for the sake of gameplay, but I think there are some potential in-world explanations for it too. Maybe the smaller creatures have evolved to be extremely territorial, so any large abyss creatures that happen to wander above the abyss get quickly driven back by swarms of smaller critters? Or maybe the submarines are something so alien to them, they don't realize how dangerous they are: it's a huge, chunky whale-like thing that doesn't even have teeth, claws or fins, looks really slow and not very agile - and apparently it doesn't even have a mouth, so it won't eat you, why not go and take a bite for an easy meal?
