Platform A pings one time(pa).
m seconds: (m<n) A pings again (pb); interrupting the display drawing; he gets no return on the target.
n seconds: B gets pa on active intercept
m seconds: B doesn't get pb on active intercept
m+n: A gets the return from PB on the targets position.

Did that do it?

If you interrupt your pinging, you stop drawing it, and it can still be heard all the way out, but if you ping in between it doesn't get detected by the sub - is at least the way I understood it. There's no way to exploit this for cheating though.
