If convoy is close or heading at me fast where there is a noticable spread
of sound contact. I use "follow nearest warship" command from the hydro
command officer. This will track the same target.
Problem here is when you move for you fourth bearing - you can lose contact.
Then it does become a guessing game.
Here I would always confirm my solution with visual checks.
if it was thick fog - I may hit with one out of four torps.

I assume you are also using the real nav mod.
Trevally... thanks for the ideea... i will track only the DDs for convoy... i will use the hydro ping to find speed, course for convoy... i will put myself on fast 90 and i will hit only one ship on the convoy... this in heavy fog ofcource... but... it is a but... often the DDs speed is diferent from the rest of the convoy
