Threadfin, very nice, detailed post.
But I agree with Keelbuster that map contacts update IMHO give away too much and too detailed information, especially about the course of a target.
I prefer to work a bit more for my firing solutions, especially since this approach slows down and extends the actual 'hunting and stalking'-part of the game quite a bit for me, which I like. With the map contacts update enabled it became for me just a matter of quickly drawing a couple of lines on the map for a 100% accurate firing solution.
And it makes for a completely different simming experience when you finally see a smokestack on the horizon which turns out to be a destroyer as you draw closer for identifying your 'prey'...
