It can be useful for figuring out a convoy's layout. For example i was attacking a convoy yesterday and was having a hard time finding the best target beacouse I only had three tubes loaded and one in my internal reserves. so I scaned the convoy and locked on to the boats I considerd targets and then checked the map to get their location and then ploted the course of the ship to figure out what row it was in and there for what what the best target. It has limited effective use but if you can get creative you can find uses for it.

I use that when in bad weather if I can get a lock on target, go to the map and see how the ship is angled. Got to be quick.
