Thanks again for the help. I guess I've been too concerned with getting tracking started right away, but it sounds like knowing the sonar picture is more important.
Unfortunately, the periscope is the one aspect of the game I can't really use because of being visually impaired (extremely frustrating). I've been able to use it if I already know the bearing to look down and the contact is either really big (carrier, super tanker) or really close (like 3-4 nm). Basically, the target has to be about a centimeter tall before I can make it out and sweep-searching is way beyond me. Even on the Kilo, I find myself using sonar and ESM way more often than the scope.
