It's just that it's something that doesn't get resolved until either a) you see the boat in question on a fixed array or b) you change your course. When I'm playing DW, changing course to resolve bearing ambiguities is something that has to factor into my tactical picture. Now, given your convergence zone scenario, I imagine seeing the contact appear in two convergence zones mathematically dictates that it can only be one of those mirror contacts. However, previously undetected enemy subs can enter the tactical picture when you're in close enough that convergence zones don't matter.
I also have a second question that I meant to ask: are you going to have less than 100% confident intel? As in, intel that doesn't pan out, or incorrectly estimates enemy strength? Anything along those lines?
