Sorry Amizaur, but the color of the bathymetric filter does NOT represent the depth, as your screen show it easily.

The colors represent the quality of sound propagation at this place.
In the same map, you could have a very bright zone, much deeper than a darker one. Just watch it
You have to use these zone differently if you want to hide (in brighter zone) or listen (in darker zone, where you have a much better detection possibilities)

Of course, depth have influence on sound propagation, but not only this : also the general geographic site (corridors, mount, cliff etc ...) will change the sound propagation.

So, what you see as blue color DOES NOT REPRESENT the depth but the SOUND PROPAGATION QUALITY (... SNR).

... as it was already in Sub Command ...
Lighter zone less propogation, darker zone better propogation: gotcha
I was wondering about that... knew it wasn't depth but couldnt figure out what it was.
