so if you need to trace a cource ar rote, you have to do it at 2500
if you whant to see it, but to intercept an enemy ship it's better zooming to 1500 or lower ... and there the numbers are very visible... :up:

Actually, I generally use the bearing overlay to plot the target course and speed upon initial surface intercept, when I'm usually 8KM away (give or take) - I'd like to be able to simply draw a line bearing (for example) 75 degrees to a range of (for example) 7,200m. Unfortunately, by the time I zoom in close enough to see the bearing circle, I can only draw a line about 2-3KM long, so I have to draw that partial line, then zoom back out (losing the bearing circle along the way) and try to extend the line out to the full 7,200m without screwing up the bearing from my sub in the process. It would be so much easier if I could see the bearing circle while I was still zoomed out far enough to draw a line that would extend 8-10km or so from my boat.
By the time I am close enough to the target to be able to see the bearing circle and the target position on the same zoom level, I don't need the bearing circle anymore - I can maneuver into position by that time just fine by "feel" alone.
That's why I would like a bearing circle that you could see (and read the numbers on) at the 2,500m or even the next higher (lower? further out, anyway) zoom level. Any chance of making such a bearing circle with big, readable numbers? |
