At long range - say 25km, I ask for "report sound contact" and use these
for bearings with 30 mins between. I find this gives you enough to get to
a good fiing possition and if targets ar not too close - enough info for solution.

If convoy is close or heading at me fast where there is a noticable spread
of sound contact. I use "follow nearest warship" command from the hydro
command officer. This will track the same target.
Problem here is when you move for you fourth bearing - you can lose contact.
Then it does become a guessing game.
Here I would always confirm my solution with visual checks.
if it was thick fog - I may hit with one out of four torps.

I assume you are also using the real nav mod.
