Range:

(1) Seawolf use WAA.

(2) Check if you have contacts on Sphere as it should kick in at a specific distance. Like I think for stock Sub Command, the contact is within 10kyds.

(3) Strength and lines on DEMON.

(4) Lag or lead LOS and the cross of the LOBs either indicating max or min range.

(5) A contact on Sphere and TA as the intersection is the exact position and range.

(6) Additionally, TMA legs. If you are not worried about give away your position, speeding up for a few minutes can help. It increases the fan and triangulation affect of the TMA solution.

(7) Strength and sound of the BB contact.

(8) Bearing rate on the STA and ITA sonar. Imagine a sub moving at 5kts from DEMON, but with a high bearing rate (line drifts) on BB. That means you got relatively close and dangerous contact.

I am sure the experts have even more clever methods. These my naive ones.
