Its hard to get an exact range, but you can get a rough estimate. Your hydrophone operator will tell you if the contact he's currently hearing is near, medium or far range, but the best way to see this is to go to your nav map (F5 key). You'll see your sub in the middle and a bunch of lines radiating out from it. These lines represent the hydrophone contacts around your sub. The longer the line, the farther away the contact is.
Welcome aboard! Once you get your feet under you and you feel you've mastered the stock game, give some mods a shot. Our modders have done some amazing work in the past few years. Last year we had a Subsim meetup here in Houston where SH3/SH4 lead designer Dan Dimetrescu was in attendance...he said that even the game's design team had no idea how some of the modders have done the things they've done to the game.
