As I'm not familiar with your UIs mod (dam this laptop for being a mac..) I'm not familiar with the routine to get range from sonar. But unless it's triangulation it's not realistic IMO.

The game makes a command available in the commands.cfg file that allows you to get the exact range to target. That's how the sonarman can instantly get you a range solution. That's why I said it's only cheating if you use the sonarman this way from my UIs mod. If you don't then you don't get range to target. All you get is bearing info from the hydrophone station.
