Contact bearing compass sheet for GWX
Contact bearing compass for GWX
What’s it for? In GWX 2.0 contacts appear on the map without an exact heading. Heading is given something like NW (northwest) or SSE (south-southeast). This makes an intercept more challenging, because the usual attack is: laying in wait on the target’s path to make visual contact and then do the visual plotting. This compass sheet (pdf file) makes it easier. It's part of my personal 'Kaleun handbuch', a collection of sheets and forms. Thought I'd like to share. Edit: this compass is now part of my 'document collection'. Read more here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=131867 |
Great minds think alike..
I got a similar sheet. But written with a pen. I use it all the time. |
canovaro,
could you give a pictorial example - can you show me how it works on your map ? i relate better to 'show' than 'tell.' sounds v. inertesting.... |
I Have the same problem als Komndante Canovaro.
In GWX 2.0 : 0° is always to North ! We need 0° in the direcction of our Boot. Thanks |

I think using stuff like this adds to the "role playing" aspect of the game :up: |

I updated the pdf with a picture, hope it helps! |

Target speed / bearing table for firing torpedo "straight shots". Officer training program form. Contact and convoy observation note sheets. And hydrophone speed calculation tables, although the data on these are orginally mine. I can't sink a hip without those sheets!! |
canovaro,
please forgive me ! so this is not a mod, but a printable sheet to work from ? also, like the sound of target speed/bearing table....:yep: |

I had a text file for that and have been doing the same as you with the following addition.
Based on the contacts speed converted into Km/hr (use pull down chart in GWX2), I take the ruler and draw line segments showing where the convoy will be at the top of every hour. Then, you plot a navigation line to the vague convoy track. Using your navigator and your line segments, you can adjust your intercept such that you arrive say at an intercept area a couple of hours prior to the convoy allowing optimum time to setup the shot. Thanks for the PDF; looks nicer than my text file. |
Thanks Canovaro, I will find this tool useful.

Looks like a handy plotting intercept tool. Have printed it out and will give it a try. Thanks. :up:
