Active sonar, useful for anything other than basic ranging?

[NFunky]

Hey all, figured I'd start a new topic since this has only a slight bearing on my other thread. This one is a simple question.

Does anyone use active sonar for anything other than obtaining range? I'm playing around with my Kilo scenario and have found that I can effectively use the return sound to get the exact range for a target that I've already pretty much localized. Thanks to some of the advice in my other thread, I've started using it to help me re-steer my fish when the target starts evading, however I can't seem to find any other use for active. I get no bearing data because I can never see the contact which also means that while CMs do make an audible return, I can't use active to steer fish past them. I also get quite confused when my fish get pretty close to the target as they also create return pings and no visual mark.

Anyone ever use active effectively?
