The target you have selected has not yet been identified, so all you get is a rough position and a low confidence rating. Since you have yet to establish range it's really just a direction until more data becomes available. As you gather information on a target the image will change - first to a general surface/subsurface contact, then to a type (Merchant/Warship etc.), finally to the specific kind of vessel. Its position will change as well as its range and speed are calculated. By the time you know exactly what the target is, the confidence bar will be high, the image in the window will show the proper vessel and the map pip will show its proper range and speed - right up until the last update, of course.

Cheers Captain! And happy hunting.
Sorry, but I don't think you understood my problem. Data Display Indicator (DDI) is not (according to game's manual) the 3D representation of what the crew believes is the contact in the upper right corner, but the (in my case blank, plain grey) field in the upper left corner.



No information is displayed there no matter what, even when I click on my own submarine.

Here's what it's supposed to look like:
