need help selecting target for sonar

Joe S · 10-30-17, 08:53 PM

I have SH4, the "gold " edition and sometimes things do not work as they should. For example, sometimes I can manually operate the sonar and sometimes the game will not let me do it.
I would like to use sonar and radar to send the range and bearing to the TDC. On a recent single mission, Borneo Convoy, I think, I locked a merchant ship in the periscope, relative bearing about 355 degrees, and asked sonar to send range an bearing to the TDC. When I look at the nav map, it shows the target but when I switch to the attack map, it shows the torpedoes set to run toward a ship with a bearing of about 120 degrees.
I have also never had any luck getting the deck gun to shoot at the target I want it to shoot at.
Can anyone specify exactly what I need to do to select the target?
Thanks!
