Sonar seems always off

Example:
I'll have contacts at say 345 and I'm going course 230 or so on Sphere and/or TA. All seems good right? Well I turn on Truths (after I had shot a torpedo that never hit anything lmao) and all the contacts are down around the 170 - 210 or so.

I know on the Broadband how to course change and whichever lines move are false (or false-duplicate) contacts.
But that's not the issue.

For some reason tho I'm completely off in the Sonar. I know how it all works and have read all the manuals and watched videos but still an issue over here.

Take for instance the mission on RA called Barren Seas Loiter.
I know all the targets come in down at 180 ish, and you start off going 000.

When I start getting Sonar contacts they are all coming from around 230-270 while I'm going 180, so their on my right. Then after a long time they start showing up where they actually are.

As I'm typing this I just had a thought. When you turn and go 180, do you have to flip the switch that makes North - South?

Maybe that's why I'm messing up?
