I've held contacts in the 3rd convergence zone (90nmi) before, had direct path contacts beyond 30nmi, and had other targets undetectable at .5nmi. LWAMI removed the hard-capped ranges for passive sensors, so there really isn't any sort of generic rule that is going to give you a range.

Torpedo acquisition cones... that's a little more predictable... I think we left the angle at +/-45 degrees. Expect 2nmi-1.5nmi for modern HWTs vs large targets, but less than 1nmi if the target is very small or you're using an older, cheaper weapon.
