Fog hurts! how do you use sonar?

[Brag]

In fog, you have to plot your contacts to establish heading. then you move closer to intercept chosen target. Be ready to fire, you will see the target on the scope for a few seconds before you're too close to arm the torpedo (you need 300 meters.

And in fog stay submerged. The evil DDs will spring out of the fog and sink you with canon.

if you use magnetic you can fire from shorter distance
dont know how much shorter but you can

Fog can be your friend also. If she be a lone merchant it is fun surfacing 500m off and blasting the thing with your cannon. I followed a sound with my sonar and made headway towards it.I did not know what it was. Out of the mist like a ghost came a C3 at 90 degrees to me. I sent it down with two torps. Very cool sinking that time

You're absolutely right, Morts.

Does anyone know what minimum arming distance is for mags? I have shot as close as 275, but in a fog situation I have let ships go because I could not see far enough to ensure a proper solution.
