Is there a way, when your forced to dive after detecting radar signals, that you can use the hydrophones to plot the course of the target if its the case of a convoy or a task force who's radar you've detected?
I've come across several task forces and convoys, but i've missed out on each because I don't know which direction they are heading while i'm submerged, and can't plot an intercept course. Why just earlier, I thought I was heading in the right direction to intercept a Task Force after picking up their radar, only to discover I was infact heading the wrong way.
Any help guys?

Perhaps its just me, but what I have done in those situations is to dive as soon as I get the warning of "detecting radar."
I dive to periscope depth, and raise my periscope. Using the "pencil" I will "mark" their position. As somebody said, you need at least two visual observations. When you have these two marks, its easy to plot their course and an intercept.
