Telling Heading From Hydrophone Bearing

As long as you keep the needle on the target bearing (in the top right corner it should say "merchant" or "warship" or "unknown") then after a few seconds you will get a reading of how far the ship is. Once you get that hit the checkmark in the pad at the upper right corner and that will send the info to your attack periscope.

Right now ive just started to learn how to manual target ships and fire torps manually so my "realism" settings are about 81% or 85% something like that. That is how i find my range to targets when submerged and dont have enough time to open the recognition manual.

I must be missing something here. What does opening the recognition manual have to do with the range to a particular target?
