ok So in a nut shell :

WITH NO map contact updates you need to be able to do accurate and good Triganometry to even have a clue as to the ROUGH, vague position of the enemy.

( I have tried hard to do that trig! even with the youtube tutorial video to help lol)

With map contact updates ON SH5 is like shooting fish in a barrell, it really is.

With Map contact updates ON I really HATE how I can use my yellow torpedo path line on the map to make a basic guess and shoot my torps with pretty damn good accuracy.

I dont need to figure out mast height or distance to target.... just line up the little yellow torp line slightly in front of the enemy ship and shoot. I usually hit. So, So boring.

I dont know about you guys..... but I LONG to find a method in the middle.

A method which is challenging ( not ridiculously easy ) but where I dont need to be a genius at trig to even find the target.

I used to find we had this back in the day with SH3.

Do you feel the same ?
