Has anybody ever played the old sub game Up Periscope before? I recently started playing this game and I noticed that if you display the "big chart" while playing the game in a patrol mission, you can then move your sub to spot enemy ships very quickly instead of waiting hours to spot a ship in real-time... But does this mean its not possible to spot enemy ships unless you use the "big chart? Is it not possible to spot ships in real-time? (I want to play in real-time and just want to know if I would be able to spot ships in real-time and get a sense of realism, or if I would just be wasting my time...) Im playing the DOS version.. Please help.
