Thanks, I didn't know. I just checked my SH3 files and yeppers, it's there.
Every since I started playing SH3, which I started at the beginning in 1939, I have always done my interceptions on paper and have been pretty lucky.
In my present mission, I did the same thing and then transferred it to Photoshop and plotted in the map, what I had calculated with pencil, paper and using a 10 piece math set. Here is what I come up with for my present interception:

I really am not sure if this planned intercept is going to work now because on the way, I ran into two single merchants, so I had to take time out to sink them, and then I got spotted by aircraft on two separate occassions that were droppings DCs so I had to crash drive to 50 metres, so that took more time out of my planned intercept route. So, I am just sitting waiting where I think the convoy will appear. I'm not sure whether I missed them or not.
Let's hope I am still in time. I had calculated that I would intercept them at roughly 2010. It is now 1620.
Thanks. I will try a little plotting on 'Happy Times' to see how I do.
