I still prefer the sonar operator to call out the bearing of the torpedo, vice that it came from a "sierra" location.
When I hear of Sierras and their bearing, I am working to classify the sound. Being busy with that, I no longer specifically know what bearing they are on...precisely, but I am just moving to fire a torpedo back at the origin of the enemy torpedo. If I can react with slow speed, turns, depth changes, etc. I can still avoid the enemy torpedo while not breaking the wire to mine.
In all this, I am also visualizing everything in my head so that commands are faster, more accurate, and definitive to put my boat in a better position.
