It tries, but it has its moment's where it fails miserably. The "one sensor at a time" mechanic also applies to YOUR sensor's. Next time your doing a submerged periscope attack, keep the scope down, and enjoy the passive sonar as reported by your AI crewman or map contacts. Then raise the scope when your targets in visual range, and watch the sonar contacts disappear. With the scope still up, ask your sonarman to follow the nearest contact and see what happens.
