. I can turn my boat to the direction of the contact and head towards him, but before I ever get to within visual range or close enough to shoot, my sonar guy looses him and I have no idea where he is or how to reacquire the target.
Don't turn towards where he is, but where he will be in the future.

(yeah i know, i'm probably being Captain Obvious here. )

No, I haven't tried manning the phones myself, and to be honest I'm not exactly sure how to do that
Should be a button on the orders bar or a hotkey somewhere (check the F1 help menu) . Generally, you can hear much farther with the hydrophone then your soundman can (don't ask me, ask ubi ). Use your Home/END keys to rotate your sound gear, the mouse wheel button will allow you to rotate it in smaller increments for "fine tuning" so to speak.
