Hi all,

Currently doing the first mission SH5 with Wolves of Steel mega mod.
My number 1 told me that we have spotted a convoy bearing 260 i am currently heading bearing 252. How do i reach the convoy? Can i let the navigator calculate a course?

Thanks in advane! :arrgh!:

there are plenty of methods how to intercept a convoy or a ship .....take a look at this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRuVGPKrj7A) it's old one but the method is the same with twos

Also, note that your course is a True Bearing and that the contact is at a Relative Bearing (Relative bearing is based on your ship's orientation, ie. 90 degrees is always directly the right of your ship and 270 is always directly to your left, etc.)

Yep, or another way - Relative bearing is what you see at periscope, absolute bearing is the same + your current course.
