Fog hurts! how do you use sonar?

I have reinstalled SHIII with the Grey Wolves patch and I am on my first patrol. I have just rounded by Stornoway in the fog, I have a convoy in front some where. On sonar they are at bearings of 305, 345, 012 etc. the sound lines on the nav map stop (fade) about 2000m from my boat so I surface to see if more eyes help me see. Still no sight when there is an all mighty screach and a large merchant man drives over me.

Can you fire torps at the sound lines and how can you tell how far the ships are from you with the hydrophones? also which is the best hydrophones to get first off in the war the kdg ones seam to be easier to damage but is the sonar results better from them?
