I use no map contacts. For me, the thrill of the hunt is a lot of the fun in SH4. (Hmm. If I were a Japanese tanker where would I be hiding?)

If I'm submerged and get a contact there are some ways to use passive sonar to determine a target's course and speed. I need a good calculator to do the math for these methods, but I have fun doing it.

Then there are times when I'm on the surface and spot a destroyer. Those destroyers are moving right along and there isn't a lot of time to identify the ship and line up a shot. I just have to take what I get and hope for the best.

But ... to each their own. I think the options are one of the things Ubisoft did well on. SH can be set up to suit a great many of playing styles. Whatever your style, good luck and good hunting to everyone!!
