Is it because the plotter is calibrated to 3.7nm scale?
Yes, exactly. All the plotter does is simply making it unnecessary to mark the advance of your submarine before the next update of the enmy position, hence the scale must match what the sub would really move, and for that I needed a fixed zoom, because the size of the scale is also fixed.

Only for a whole attack run it becomes a bit unhandy because it would be hard to adjust for your own course changes
Yes, that's unfortunately a limitation of the game map. I wish that in the game each time we take a range and bearing reading (With stadimeter or radar), we could send the result directly to the map with a button. Would make plaotting not just more fun and easy, buta lso more realistic. It is a bit annoying to have things be more difficult in the game than they were in real life, LOL.
