Not modelled in DW for gameplay and national security reasons.

Or something like that...

Personally, I'd like to add it, but we are limited by the interface, and SCS made a careful decision NOT to model that. So it's not modelled.

On the other hand, by the time the sphere array would have a strong enough SNR to have a reasonable depth estimate, you'd probably have a good enough idea where they were anyway, since you would have been tracking them for sometime.

Now with the strong layer effect, I have a pretty good idea where the contact is depthwise just by looking at my sonar and my own positioning, so I don't really mind not having it, other than those times I'm totally confused, and in those circumstances, it might confuse the array as well.

So basically, its like that extra scoop of gravy on your turkey and stuffing, you've already got gravy so its fine if you don't get it.
