Default Contact Ranges and Contact Distances

Here are the speeds and distances your sonar man is telling you in the language your mother taught you in.

CONTACT RANGE IN METRES
Short range: 0-1,000
Medium range: 1,001-3,000
Long range: 3001-20,000



CONTACT SPEEDS IN KTS

Slow: 1-7
Medium: 8-18
Fast: 19-34
Very Fast: 35-

This holds true for everything except Merchants and Convoys medium and fast speeds which are:
Medium: 8-11
Fast: 12-

You realise that radio contacts from South China Sea reported while you're in Jawa Sea are also 'Long Range', right?

I think the key here is speeds and sitances your sonar man is telling you.
