Can I give you a piece of advice ?
Read the TMA section of the document titled : Sub Command HQ - Multiplayer Tactical Employment Manual, written by TimmyG00.
You can find it at
www.subguru.com and even though it was written for sub command the TMA section applies 100% also to dangerous waters.
Its is very clear, and very easy to understand.
As for the bearing/range pair.
Every time you mark a contact on passive sonar, it will be displayed on the navmap (tma station) at exactly 10nm for the sub irrespective of the contacts real distance.
On the other hand contacts marked from within radar and stadimeter will appear at the excat distance from you on the bearing line.
So in this case instead of having only bearing information you will have also distance hence the bearing/distance pair.
