Taking out ships without raising the scope is doable with just the hydrophone and sonar, but its fairly hard. You need to plot very accurately from hydrophone bearings and sonar distances. God's eye view bearing lines make it much easier though, and I've never tried it without them. You just have to gather your data and input it manually into the TDC. It can be done, but I can't see how you would target any specific part of the ship, only the ship as a whole. Get bearing from hydrophone, distance from sonar, speed from 3:15 rule and accurate plotting, AOB from accurate plotting. The problem is that you have absolutely no idea what you're shooting at, unless you ID it before you dive.

Any ideas on how to do effective MZ shots like this?
