To quote ramjb here, to be stealthy doesn't mean being slow:

Thank you for posting this. Since it came up in the video: what I think really needs fixing ASAP is that this magic value of 10 on active is something I had to look up on forums. Such information should be available in game, preferably in a tutorial. Players should never have to rummage around in game files or forums to get such crucial information.

I agree. It was the same video you linked that helped me out too.

I think maybe changing the numbers to a more descriptive (and hopefully immersive) system like detection levels of "unlikely" "probable" "likely" etc... would be good?

Actually, I think that's a very good idea. Especially if for example a level of "almost certain" would be equivalent to current 8 to 12.
I'd keep the numbers for ownship data though as the crew knows exactly the parameters of their own sonar.
