If ya get the speed right, as well. I've had my TDC tell me that the ship I've carefully ranged and skillfully messtimated within 5' or so is traveling at 75 knots. (chuckle) But then, I don't pause to diddle my triangles on the charts like I should. You'd think I'd know better with the couple of reserve years I had playing OS. Perhaps I should play at the easy level and scrooge the higher percentage of game reward for full realism if I want to pretend I'm shouting 'mark' to others who are diddling the dials, pencils and protractors for me. But to be honest, I've managed to sink a few now ... even if they were behind, in front of or in back of the ship I was really shooting at. Third patrol - looking forwad to radar being designed for my boat or getting a new one with it.
