Good work on researching the intercept and attack strategies. Now ur measurements are not off, it's slop from the sonar. my experience was the closer you are to the target the slop cleans up a bit. now you got everything you need, all you do now is "eyeball" the course of the target by making a line down the "average" of ur readings. some of ur marks will be on the targets port, some starboard. but you'll have a really good idea of where's he's going. as you close in, fire off a few more active pings to clean up the data and u'll have it. get visual with the periscope, and make a few last minute adjustments and you'll have steel on the ocean floor no problem
