Submerged firing solutions without active sonar

Or map updates. Is that possible? Is there a way to use the hydrophone to estimate range?

remap nearest visual contact to key B, when ready, you can fire

The only problem with that particular sonar only targeting solution is that it's for US Fleet Boats from SH4. U-boats don't have the sonar to ping to check range as he describes in that video.

For U-boat specific methods the old SH3 tutorials work well in SH5:

For basic manual targeting help, this thread has a ridiculously great amount of hints and tips:

Just keep in mind some are showing Fleet Boats, so things like the Sonar and Position Keeper and Ice Cream Machine won't apply to your u-boat!

Yeah, I remember in SHIV the fleet boats had active sonar. Used to spend hours with a stopwatch timing pings to line up shots.

That's why I was confused with the U-boats. No active sonar = no pinging for range.

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look.
