Yet one thing about the plots. Contact symbols.

DW uses different symbol sets for friendly, neutral, hostile and unknown. It has symbols for weapon, missile, mine. Are these symbols any realistic ? Do manual plots use colors ?

Or are only the bearing lines plotted ?

The fire control system used symbols, the geoplot much more simplistic. About the only symbols I recall using was the contact designator i.e. M1 or S23 etc.

OK I gave this some thought and I would have to say (excluding port visits for propaganda in Perth or something) that my favorite would be a HULLTEC mission. Nothing cooler than giving another ship or sub a close up visual keel inspection without them being aware.

Oh the underhulls!
