I have noticed that when using the sonar it allways seems to give a range slightly further and bearing slightly behind the target. Maybe im just not quick enough on the send data buttons.
Anyway Ive found the game heaps more exciting when using manual targeting. When and if I master this I want to move onto no map update.
happy hunting and stick with manual when you do hit its realy rewarding.

The problem is that in most cases you don't have 3 min to make the measurments and most of all you don't have a single target to find the speed.
