There are times when I am trailing a surface ship but I occasionally lose passive tracking because I need to speed up. Most of the time warships have active sonar on 24/7 but the minimap doesn't display the approx. location of the track (but I do see yellow bearing lines). Is this intended behavior? Shouldn't the contact remain on TMA?

Second question, does this apply to the AI as well? If I use active sonar, does the AI still have to work to get a firing solution or does the AI automatically know my accurate location?

This is most apparent when using the 1968 subs that have much worse sensors.
