I have been thourgh exactly the same situation. The weather was great, wind at 4 m/s, as I was tracking a merchant though the periscope, then front of me, a cloud bank was getting closer and the merchant was sailing right into it, as it sailed into the storm, it instantly disappears.

Using the sonar, I made a rough estimate of where the torp should go to get this ship, and amazingly, the SO had reported that the ship had sunk.
