has anyone ever detected a slow moving sub at that far out distance in DW with LWAMI(or stock)? I believe you can't. I never detected anythong that far out especially a slow moving sub.

LWAMI detections against slow-moving subs tend to be rather short. You can definitely get direct-path contacts against a 688I on the Pelamida from 40km+, but the 688I would need to be, well, I'm not sure how high, but more than 2 knots.

I've read that a 20 km direct sound contact detection is no special thing but in DW it seems unlikely.

That's just wrong. 20km direct contacts are very common in DW, both with and without LWAMI and including contacts against the quietest submarines at patrol speeds.
