If you have a radio contact, you already have heading and an estimate for speed (slow = 6kts in SH3)
If you place yourself ahead of the target and line up 90° abeam, all you have to do is set the TDC for a fast-90 solution. Then the AoB will automatically calculate for you wherever you happen to point the wire.
Then you just tell your hydro guy to track the target... as he calls out bearings you point the scope at the bearing. You point at 340° or 20° and when the hydro guy calls out 340° or 20° you fire and wait for the boom.
The nice thing is, if you don't sink the merchant, you usually at least set it on fire and it's much easier to see.
Distance is not an issue...
In really bad weather I can carryout this type of attack with my scope not even breaking the surface. I'm not using it for a visual, it's just an aiming device.
That's the easy example using a radio contact. If I don't have a radio contact to go by, but I'm within hydro distance... I can use TMA to determine heading and I have a few other tricks for triangulating on the position.
