Capn Scurvy, sorry I thought I include the date/ time in the message, it was 18Oct42 @ 12:21 hours and the submarine was based out of Fremantle, Australia.

@ s7rikeback. Both ships were flying the white flag with a red meatball dead in the center.

Another out of Manila travels on like a 100 heading, but may have been trying to avoid you... were you spotted? In all cases, there is no zig-zagging in the area, because of the strates. |
@propbeanie. I should have said that the ship heading was 42°, instead of"on a course of 42° at seven knots". I took the reading off the map, I have ' map contacts on' in order to help me with the AOB angle during tracking. The targets were first spotted on radar. As the the targets came closer, I drove to radar depth and later to periscope depth. The weather was great for enemy escorts, which there wasn't any,but it's just a habit when approaching enemy targets I have. They weren't zig-zagging, so I don't think they spotted me. Now only if I had some torpedoes to shoot towards them. I think a reef was needed in that area for the fish! And also have outside camera on to look at the ships in order to spot any that not look right.
Many thanks for your hardwork on this project gentleman. I do enjoy the mod!
