Welcome aboard altctrlspud!
New members are always welcome. We always need someone to keep the propeller polished.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. We're always glad to show off our vast wealth of knowledge of sh4.
If you haven't, make generous use of the tutorials. You can mess around, practice, and learn a lot about working the game.
Your question. You want to get in front. Radar range is beyond sonar range. You can stay far enough out to not be detected, yet still be able to track the targets. You want to get ahead of the target, a little off to the side. Go deep, and stay silent. When the target gets close, you want to come up to periscope depth. Raise the scope, get a reading, then lower it. When you're ready, fire away.
