Thanks for your input Leoz!
I just discovered another problem with playing with no map contact updates at all.
When submerged, and with escorts hunting me (like after an attack on a convoy), i ask my SO to track the nearest warship, he starts to periodically tell me what its doing as expected. BUT, i found that many times he will continue to "track" the same contact even if another warship has moved closer to me.
For example, there are 2 destroyers, he reports on d1 as its closer. But then d1 goes away and d2 starts chasing me, my SO will still report about d1, instead of reporting on the now closer (and more menacing) d2. And since he tells me that what is supposed to be the "nearest" warship is "long range, moving away" i surface, and come face to face with d2 who might be very close.
So i need a way to tell me on the map where those dds are. But not as precisely as with normal map contact updates. The "Assisted plotting mod" works great in this regard. In the above example it will show me that there are in fact two destroyers not just one, but it wont tell me exactly where they are.
