Also, once you know where he is going by tracking him farther out, keep the scope down. Track with sonar, and when you feel he's in a good spot to strike, check bearing by asking your sonar man, pop the scope up to check bearing and lock on, and fire as fast as you can.

That is to say don't raise the scope until you are sure you will only do it once and fire.

He'll start to zig but it will be too late.

Note: I use this technique running more or less stock v1.5

Not sure if firing as fast as you can is the way to go... as far as I know this will increase dud rates.
