I think true 100% should only apply to those that are willing to also take up the roll of nav/track officer. We pat ourselves on the back for learning manual targetting but when it comes to determining true course we're content to allow ourselves some room to be lazy I guess.

So how do we refer to real 100% players then? Is it generally understood that when someone says they play at 100% realism setting that they also have the map updates off?

...if they had modelled some variability into the hydro contact line I wouldn't call it a cheat. However, as long as the contact line continues to terminate at the exact location of the contact, I'd definitely call it a cheat. That information is just too perfect. If the contact line could be modded to terminate at a fixed distance or a max range for hydro listening, I think that would be acceptable. :hmm:
I have a fix for that.........
