Scenario is, you get "smoke in the horizon" message: single ship or convoy it doesn't matter, you get heading to the target and you can additionally ask for a rough estimate of range; normally in the 9000 to 12000 range.
With target identification disabled, I can't even use the stadimeter. so my normal strategy would be to close at flank speed. Problem is that then by the time I am close enough to identify it and get a first course and speed estimate, I am actually too close now, so no longer "enough time to grow a beard" scenario. And being close means that there is a chance he will see me and in that case, he will change speed and heading again

You can get bearings by hydrophone or visualy, doesn't matter
