It's highly possible, I took it with me from SH3 or SH4, I truly have no idea what I exactly did. I'm not 100% sure I took 3 bearings, could have been more.

I stumbled on top of "How to use the 4 bearing method in SH5" by stoianm. This could very well be what I've been using, but I'm having trouble applying it, there is little to no math involved and it all comes down to making good use of the map tools.

Either the ships I've been tracking had a course correction some were along the way or I'm still doing something wrong, for I get the feeling I'm not doing it right. The only ships I've found so far have been blind luck.

I'm making use of Real Navigation and I don't know how much this might mess things up and how far of course my navigator calculates me to be from my true location.

So far, I'm still early in the war and only able to track and chase down slow and with some difficulty medium speed moving ships.
Don't even know if the skills of my crew come in to play when I'm applying this 4 bearing method...

Will keep on trying, this 4 bearing method for many things feel familiar to me, even though I can't get it to quite work yet
