I too think it is a bug, but the other way. You should not hear the return. You will hear the return on ANY distance, as long as ground or layer effect don't block the return completely. The return should get weaker with distance, to a point, where you can't hear it. Due to this bug you can never actually hear 'weak' return in DW. There either is return, or not.

Anyway .. display should reflect audible feedback, and in fact it could be even a bit better, because it can average multiple pings.
Sorry, please believe me i will no one annoy with my question about the sonar, i need a step by step explain..
What i understand..
I make a PING with a range (5/10/20..) that i selected above right..
ok..in these testmission i hear! no contact at 15km, but i hear a contact at 10km..
The Display shows me nothing because its a bug, everything understood..

To get a Range, step by step, what i have to do with my locator in the screen? (the locator with the movement Hole, hope you understand what i mean..)..and what i see after refreshing in my screen? Or in the green/blacked mixed waves?
