I just found this...I just asked the basic same question in another thread. I've been trying to figure out how to track aob and speed with sonar.

I would ping, mark bearing and range on the map. I don't know if the 3 minute rule applies or not, but ping again at 3 minutes, mark on the map range and distance.
My speed is zero and don't see how it can be done if your sub is moving.

I just didn't know if this rule worked to determine speed. Now I see it's easily possible to get AOB.

Course the problem is TF...ping, and it's a new ball game. If you get this figured out, someone please sticky it.
