From the first training mission, which you used to gain experience of getting a bearing on a series of static targets and confirming that bearing optically:

To get an accurate reading of the relative bearing of a target, read the bearing from the back edge of the contact. To do this, sweep the beam clockwise over the pip and when it disappears, step backwards using the mouse wheel (move the mouse wheel towards you) until the pip re-appears on the 'A' Scope. Look at the radar train bearing indicator and read off the relative bearing.

If you were about seven degrees off, then you measured the bearing from the wrong 'edge' as the radar will pick up a target over a seven degree arc. Sweep over and then step back. Sweep Over, Step Back. Sweep Over Step, Back.

And that's why only four people will ever use it :-).
