Big thankyou for this guide!

(Btw, the links to the pdf and the other guides in the first post no longer work.)

Bit late, and admittedly haven't read all the way through all 10 pages of posts, but to answer the initial question about how to come up with 292.5 degrees for WNW heading, it's done like this:

North = 0 deg
East = 90 deg
South = 180 deg
West = 270 deg

These are the basic cardinal directions.

Now add in the four midpoint directions:

NE = 45 deg (halfway between North and East)
SE = 135 deg (halfway between East and South)
SW = 225 deg (halfway between South and West)
NW = 315 deg (halfwy between West and North)

Now, to get the non-standard headings such as NNE, or ENE, it's simply halfway between the midpoint direction and the cardinal direction:

NNE = (0+45) / 2 = 22.5 deg
ENE = (45 + 90)/2 = 67.5 deg
ESE = (90+135)/2 = 112.5 deg
SSE = (135+180)/2 = 157.5 deg
SSW = (180+225)/2 = 202.5 deg
WSW = (225 + 270)/2 = 247.5 deg
WNW = (270 + 315) / 2 = 292.5 deg
NNW = (315 + 360) / 2 = 337.5 deg (yes, used 360 instead of 0 - if you use 0 for north here, the calculation will be way off)

Hope that helps anyone still looking for the quick and dirty translations from direction to degree heading.

Hi, is there anyone who managed to download the pdf when it was still available? This is a very good guide, it would be a shame if we lost it. If anyone with the pdf available could re-upload it somewhere it would be very very helpful.

Thank you!

Amazing, just amazing
 

This guide helped me a BUNCH.
I managed to sink 10 ships using information from this guide, a 3 of them were warships.
Thank you

Your first post. Welcome to SubSim GalaxyMaster06! :Kaleun_Salute:

Just checking if anyone has an active link to the PDFs from this tutorial? Looks like the author's site is gone.

Old thread I know, but how was the convoy's time to the intercept point determined ?
He knew he had to speed up to beat the convoy to the intercept point, but how was this known, in other words ?

The speed table sheet gives you in hours or minutes how far a ship will travel at what speed. Just compute where the convoy will be in what time, the compute your speed to intercept.

Ok, thanks. I downloaded the pdf of The Hunt but there's no speed table sheet that I saw.
Have to do some looking around.

Conovaro has a guide you can print. If you use a mega mod they usually have a sheet you can drag at the nav map.

Thanks very much !
