I set it up to 350 [km]. |
That user option controls contacts that you already have - not new ones. What you need to be adjusting is the max radio range. Max radio range determines the radius from your sub that you can intercept radio transmissions. All contact reports received will appear on the map and they will show the heading (or course) that the transmission stated when clicked on or moused over.
Now the purpose of the user option you're referring to above is to simulate your crew's ability to discern the target's heading. By setting to 350 you're saying that your crew has the ability to discern heading from 350km out - they can't even see a contact that far out.
I think the report that you get from Bdu gives accurate information at the time that you receive it. Hours later the contact could've changed course and in reality you'd have never known that unless another contact report came in for that same contact
