Im my opinion its a design fault, cause you can actually mark something, you just dont know where it is. Nothing you can do about it, I know its annoying.

What I do when I use active: When sbumitting the ping, I am scrolling with my mouse cursor along the progressing wave. When I hear a ping return, I stop moving the mouse. Now I know the distance to the conact. Now I click through ALL the bearings (or if I know a general direction I can narrow it down a bit) and press mark.
With a bit of luck, I hit the contact (which I had NEVER EVER seen with my eyes).
That's exactly what I do too, though my success rate with this method is much lower. The number of times I've been able to see a blip of any kind w/ Akula can be counted on one hand. I once killed a Seawolf by designating on his countermeasure and flooding the area with missiles, and the other was against a Typhoon or something, broadside...
