Yeah, that was my logic zma.

The VLAD buoys, accoding to my info, are deep water only, because of the way the Vertical Line Array functions from an acoustic stand point; bottom bounces and bottom noise are devastating to this buoys effectiveness (as far as I know...). So even using the buoys in 500ft of water or even a little bit more may prevent them from functioning correctly.

So, the cable length is really just a rough estimate of the buoys actual operating parameters in real life, but in the game, it's a hard limit, so I thought 800ft was a good place to put them... especially because an "expert" suggested that to me in this thread.
