Another way to hunt targets in poor weather like fog is to use the "Dick O'Kane" constant bearing method. It is similar to your tutorial but you don't need to know an exact range. Just an accurate speed, bearing and an accurate course. If you have these pieces of data, you set your sub up to be at a 90 degrees angle to the target's course and shoot when it crosses a fixed bearing. Usually 10 degrees to the right or left of your heading (depending on which direction its coming from). You set the TDC up much like stoianm shows here.

THere are many tutorials on this in the SH4 forums if anyone is interested. VEry effective for long range shots (with a visual on target) and very effective for sonar attacks but you should be closer to compensate for sonar inaccuracies.
