Incorrect. Doppler shift is solely a function of speed (own ships and/or target)in the "line of sight". Distance is not a factor. A measurable doppler shift at 5000 yards will be the same at 50,000 or 500,000 etc.
And yes, I too wish it were modeled. It is an accurate way to determine if a contact is opening or closing, manuevering away/towards, increasing/decreasing speed. ("Conn, Sonar, Possible target zig, Master One!")
