I read numerous posting about calculating bearing. It seems more important attacking a convoy in a storm. I figure to use the deck gun while heading 270 deg amd get notice of merchants bearing 300. I travel 30 deg (300-270 port) and still can't see them. Can anyone pls help me calculate the bearing? What formula to use? I thought to take my heading and subtract the enemy bearing. I sometimes stumble upon the ships and they start shooting at me before I can do anything! Any suggestions on setting myself up for success is appreciated.

Cheers,
