none of this is modeled in SH4 except the thermal layer. Normally, it should be harder to hear close to the surface due to temperature changes (figs.6,7 & 8), reflection of sound on the surface and the turbulence caused by the boat.
Not to mention lack of reciprocal bearing contact ambiguity as well (sound does exist on both sides of the JK bar!)...I hate to say it, but, the sonar and radar in SH series is just painfully, painfully simplified...In game, it works more like a radio contact than a sensor. (it is, in fact a 'radio contact' with a few added detection variables)
