Reading the contact report?

Timme · 10-31-17, 06:06 PM

So... I'm having a hard time understanding the contact reports from my screen. I'm talking about the info I get from BdU about Task Forces, Convoys and such. I have looked around the forum but I can't seem to find anything explaining how to read the report only about sending your own

My problem is that I'm trying to get my head into the map itself. I don't have any previous experience with navigating.

The horizontal on the map is marked with a number and "E or W" and the vertical an "N".

So yeah, where do I look for the contact? I get some confusing information for a new guy like me. Please break it down for me.

"Contact Reported. Enemy Task Force, Long 11° 47'E, Lat 35° N, Course S, Speed 15 KTS!"

Hope there is a few helping minds out there, Thanks.
