I recently loaded up a mission with the type XXI submarine and tried to use the Sonar For more precise range finding, but it would seem to be in error, every time I click the Ping button it gives me a different range, Whats more, If I click it one per second I get a range increase of 10 meters a second, that means the vessel is doing 19 knots, not likely for a merchant ship, also My map keeping and manual range finding never seem to agree with my sonar officers range, so Im not sure which one of us is correct.

I feel I badly need some fire solution basic training, I understand the logic behind it all, but I Cant seem to get a single torpedo onto target
