Who is pinging?

You are supposed to minimize your profile to DD which are pinging. How do you know who is pinging? In SH1, the contact line to the pinger flashed, but not so here.

So, do you assume that it is the closest DD, since I understand that they only ping in SH3 when it is close enough to do some good?

Or if you go to the control room or sonar station will your speakers (assuming you have a 5.1 sound system and EAX enabled) provide you with a clue of where the pinging is coming from; a rough relative bearing?

If is the closest escort pinging and they can either go active or passive, then is it worth putting some more turns on the screws so that can pivot the boat? Since you can reduce your profile and if they are pinging, then they should not hear the additional RPM?

Thanks.
