1) Actually model the propagation delay when using active sonar. I once used ONE ping on a Seawolf from an Akula and the return was very bright. I realized the Seawolf had released an Active Decoy.

The only way it could have time to do so is if it detected my ping before it even reached the sub, or else I should at least have one clear ping before it fires off a decoy.

Not that I really mind designating on the bright blob that's the CM. It is a lot easier than designating on subs and the sub is close enough that designating on the CM is good enough for a shot. But it definitely is not realistic.
An AI sub won't release an active decoy with pinging from an object other than a weapon, they can tell the difference and so you can you by the frequency range on the active intercept.

The SeaWolf fired the decoy for some reason other than your ping.
