I do have one question though about, attacking using sonar only. I get the principles explained in the video. But I have two questions, how do you know you've got the right range and bearing? Especially when there are multiple targets. Range seems to jump all over the place, I find it tricky to get the right bearing. I usually rotate the sonar head till the sound seems the loudest. That's fine when there's just one target, but if there's multiple targets you often get overlap.
With sonar only I can make an accurate enough plot to intercept, but I've not once managed to sink anything with sonar only.

well thats how it is in real life. When there are to many targets so you can barely separate them, you cant rely to much on sonar.
Its a good method to attack single targets or very small convois like 2 or 3 merchants in a column. As long there is only one column you can easily separate them but not when there are ships behind other ships.
Let your sonarman follow nearest contact and tell you the bearing. Ping exactly to that bearing to get good results. You will get greater range errors by pinging in wrong direction.
