In GW11A that was true, but not in GWX. Theres a Min and Max elevation of trhe beam. A minElevation of 0 means the beam is horizontal to the surface with no blind area. In GW11a there was a min elevation of like 9 or 15 or some such number, which angled the upper part of the beam downward, creating a blind spot. This is why people could stay at periscope depth and not get pinged. I always thought this was really cheesy and am glad it was removed in GWX.

Nope. They generally don't ping without reason, but just because their pinging doesnt neccessarily mean they have a strong signal on your position.
