4 bearings on a Convoy
I hope its ok to be posting in such an old thread but I have a question regarding using the hydro to plot a convoy's course. If visibility conditions are no good (i.e. fog or night) and you are playing "no map contacts" how do you plot a convoy's course and speed?
I have become proficient at the 4 bearings method on full realism for single contacts. What I'm having a tough time with is using this method to track and plot a convoy course, speed, range. There are too many sound contacts to be able to take a bearing off a single target for all four bearings. It gets confusing and teh hydro guy starts picking up new targets and as escorts are doing their search patterns the "closest sound contact" is constantly changing making the use of the "4 bearings method" almost impossible.
What are other people's strategies for plotting a course of a convoy using the hydro (no map contacts)? Thanks.
