I dont want to use it if they couldnt do this during the war.


A few days ago when returning to Kiel, it was really foggy and I was struggling to find the entrance to the port. After clicking the button for finding the radio beacon I instantly knew which direction to go. If anyone has knowledge on this please let me know. I shall not be using it untill I get confirmation on here.
It's quite realistic I'd say because we know that naval vessels uses NDBs for navigation during the WW2. U-Boats also had DF radio equipment so I decided to implement this small and unique feature in TWoS.

To hide hide navigation marks completely, use the appropriate option in OFEV...Note that the first initial mark when you load the game can not be hidden. That's now SH5 rel nav works.
