The hf sonar in game....doesn't mark contacts unless its close, but you can clearly see much further away.
YEs but HF on subs has greater accuracy and frewuency than torpedo homing sonar...so it has shorter range becose the higher the f the shorter the range and u have higher definition of object that u r "looking" at...
If u r torpedo u only need to know where is the bigest return and u need to steer in that direction and u also need fair range to detect that object
In submarine u dont neet to see that far but u need to see with more details so u can recognise what is in front of u: mine,iceberg,wreck...

and yes u cant hear HF in DW! :rotfl:
