Hi LGN1,

in my understanding of the game itīs the helmsman who takes care about the right course if you are ordering him a course by using the "set course" tool on the nav map. Having done this, the helmsman will correct the simulated offset caused by wind and waves and will keep the course.

If you use the compass to set course by yourself, itīll be you who is responsible for the right course, and therefore youīll have to compensate the offset by your own. So if you like to play with realistic settings, e.g. without automatic uboat position display (i.e. real navigation), you also have to play without time compression.

Consequently, you will have enough time to correct the course, although you will still have an offset, depending on the exactness of your corrections. The Atlantic is not a kindergarden
