You can't. But you can make a qualified guess depending on where you are. If you are in Japanese home waters, kill whatever you find.
Btw, I have just conducted my first sonar only attack this evening, inspired partly by my own post above and partly on Sobe's videos. And you know what, guys? The sonar only attack is becoming my favourite method, because I think it's easier to determine range by sonar than by stadimeter, once you get the hang of it.
The funny thing is, it shouldn't be like this. The real skippers avoided it, although at the academy they were instructed to attack by sonar only. Raising the periscope endangered your crew and boat each time you did it, just like it does nowadays.
Get to know the sonar-thingy provided to you by the glorious US navy. It's quite addictive
