Pinging will alert escorts, the higher the crew rating, the further away they will come a looking for you. I was pinged a carrier group from long range that I coudn't see...and a few minutes later escorts were coming towards my submerged position...
Also if you're playing stock the range wheel is limited, maybe 1500 yards. Not sure about RFB.
Start checking your attack map. If contacts are on, you should see a black hash, that is the mark of attack based on your info. If you have the PK on, adjust until the black hash is on the target and moving with it. That will at least show you your set up is good. If the black hash is beyond the target, you know range is off. Obvious, you need the scope of for a visual.
Not sure if RFB allows this closer in.
