Getting Really Frustrated, Help Please!

So I got realistic navigation and realism on 100%, I have learned a lot and I really like the 4 bearings method. HOWEVER.

I dive to 30m and pick up a contact. I have only tried on contacts moving towards me but anyways. I start plotting the bearings and everything is fine. Before I can get to the 3rd bearing a different ship becomes the closest contact and I cant get bearing readings from the sonarman on the original contact anymore.

If i have him follow the contact I cant get a bearing reading when I need it.

It is a pain in the ass to manually figure out the bearing on the hydrophone, having to find the spread and then find the average.

Am I doing something wrong? All the video tuts and stuff only have one contact around... they never ever have a different contact become the closest.

Range readings from sonar pings and estimates are trash.

I am having a REALLY hard time finding stuff to blow up. Any tips?

Also can you use the 4 bearings method and intercept a target moving away from you?

Ill keep trying but A response would be MUCH APPRECIATED. THanks.
