The analog of that is our attack map, a much maligned and poorly understood part of SH4. Some mods, RFB being notable, actually took away button bar and keyboard access to the attack map, a very unfortunate decision.

Interesting re: lighted dot in real sub.
But in game, all the attack map does is display the imaginary target. It could be a lot more useful if it superimposed a mobo style dot on it to match that imaginary target to. (Wonder if a mod, could do that? hint, hint, LOL). As it is, all I use the attack map for is confirmation of my torpedo TDC attack solution and sometimes to watch the fired torpedoes tracking on target.
