BTW, as an update: I've gone back and removed the tails and the color coding. I found an interesting post that shows how to use the course bearing indicated to intercept. Now that I'm learning how to use the hydrophone a bit better, I'm having no trouble determining bearing.
And the flag illumination mod has made it so I can identify ships now. Also, I didn't realize you could thumb through the recognition manual in pause mode! I was trying to flip through it really fast in the 30-40 seconds I had before he crossed my bow!
Sadly, although I managed to sink 6 ships in my last patrol, I only netted about 10K tons. I also learned that it's a dumb idea (on so many levels!) to try and torpedo a trawler in stormy weather. 
Next patrol, I think I'll give the Hitman GUI a spin... |
BE MORE AGGRESSIVE!!
