The more tools you have (and know how to use), the more likely you are to turn Imperial shipping into artificial reefs.


Two bearing/range fixes can give you his speed and course, as accurately as your readings. Visually, radar, sonar, or by map contacts. As long as you have two plotted positions, you can figure it out. You don't even need to ever see the target to hit it.

If you play an S boat you do not have rador for vry long time, and the accuracy of the actve sonar is hilarious.
