Skippers didn't have contact reports showing up on a digital chart so I turn contact reports off

Skippers had crew members who interpreted contact reports and put them on the plot and that is what contact reports replicate. What do you think? They just visualized the longitude and latitude in their heads and did some quick mental trig to see if the intercept was doable?
Heck no! They looked at their plot, where the contact was indicated and decided just like we do whether it was worth it to intercept or not. I don't understand statements that try to trivialize a game feature just because it is on a digital game instead of a piece of paper. There's no validity to this nonsense at all.
Try this one on for size: skippers didn't have computer mice so I won't use my mouse while playing SH4. It's a statement with identical (in)validity.
