Convoy position
 
Hello,

TWOS campaign so far so good, I went 100% aggressive and event attacked on broad daylight a DD....I said why not and sunk the dude - at the cost of 4 torp salvo.

However, I have question for convoy reports. So I just got convoy report in and I see message that navigator calculated its position, but when I go to map I do not see any convoy being placed on it.

Realism set 100%, real navigation ON.

Is this expected behavior and if so is there some guide how I can plot this convoy or reactivate option to have game draw it for me on the map?

There are no convoy drawing on map, unlike other silent hunter.

But the radio message gives you everything needed :yep:
Coordinates, distance, heading and speed.
Ask your navigator a celestial point so you will know exactly where you are.
Then plot the convoy report.
Just remember there are 60 minutes between degrees to plot it correctly.
With the convoy speed, you should be able to calculate an interception point.
The convoy heading might be approximating, but when you approach your interception point you might have to dive to listen where is exactly the convoy.
The closer you are from the convoy report, the less error you will get on its heading.

Good hunting :salute:

Yeah, but if I remember long ago when I was playing even with real nav ou would get convoy position on the map. However, if you claim the manual way is the only one is there some tutorial on how to do it?I never did this or used relevant tools for that. I really have no idea where to start from.

thnx
