np amistead, ill get that up for you soon, im going to have to play the campaign, to come in contact with a convoy, and then ill show you. im not going to make it a movie, ill do pics this time.
just a general explanation, i have done this before so i know, when a convoy is approaching, before the sonarman tells you he has contact, the contacts in the hydrophones will all be writeen on the notepad as unkowns. this is when your able to do it, point the hydrophones at the unkown that is on the far right, that has merchants screws, ask the sonar man to id it, he will id the target as merchant, then turn to get that merchant word on the notepad to the 80 degree offset, all others contacts will still be unknown, track the known merchant, and get its speed before the other contacts become identified.
thats it in a nutshell
only one or two minutes constant bearing needed to get convoy speed is needed
ask the sonar man to follow the contact as you turn, until its on 80 offset
