All tutorials and guides for any plotting are if the sub is stationary which I don't believe it would be realistic to stop sub under water or above for 5 minutes every now and then to do plotting and observation. So yeah any good guide on this or what considerations to make if I am moving as well?  |
Are you using no map target updates? Do you have a mod that doesn't show ownship?
I normally will draw bearing lines from ownship out to the range of the target. Do it again a few minutes later, do it a third time a few more minutes later (you could do it every 3 minutes to get a direct estimate of speed or every 5 minutes and use a nomograph). You can then drawing a line of advance from first to last bearing/range to get the targets course.
If you are trying to do it while submerged, you can always take a look at the 4-bearing method - lots of plotting involved.
