I've noticed that too. It seems like for all the sensors, the range is shorter than what's illustrated. I wish I knew more about the internals of the different sensor models so I could estimate sensor ranges.

For example, while creating a mission recently, I wanted to test the ability of the FFG lookouts to spot vessels of different sizes. I turned on "View Sensor Ranges" for the lookout and found that it's 10nm, but when I tested the ranges of the lookout reports for certain vessels, they were quite a bit shorter.
