Not sure what you mean by "every bearing" - the actual in-game sound you hear of a ship pinging is for effect, but everyone inside a submarine being targeted by SONAR / ASDIC would be aware of it and would hear the searcher.

But when they got my ping why they know where i am?They don't know where you are,but they are alerted that you are around,& be overhead soon,depending on range of interception.
Because I neither can know where dose their ping come from.Correct

every bearing means all bearing from 0 to 360.The ping radiates 360 degrees.
Is sonar ping sound loud enough so that we can hear even without hydrophone?Yes,in the sub.

Actually , I have bad English

.
If some sentence wrong please put me right on it.

gotcah, good hunting

Even if ping radiate 360 .....its like a bulb illuminating on me
so there is shadow that we can't hear the ping.
very curious:hmm:

A good thing making more challenge is now it have reason to use hydrophone to caculate range instead of sonar ping to keep from spotted.
