But if you are able to receive an active sonar return you should allready have a passive signal of the same contact. Combine the bearing of the passive signal, with the range(indication) of the active audible return and you have a pretty good fix.
I usually fire a torpedo well in advance towards the target (prefferably opposite on the layer) before I ever make use of a ping. The ping alerts to your pressence. It probably notices that a torpedo is fired, but it doesn't allways respond to it immediately. Only if it get's too dangerously close. So I let the torpedo close the distance, and only ping and finetune steering when it is allready close to the target.
