I wasn't talking about your lines; they were crude. But the tails, attached to each of the map contacts, are perfectly accurate. From a single contact report, you can extract course information that should not be available. Rob, as much as I understand the joy in it, from all your posts about course plotting for intercept, you have resisted your intuition. Turn off map contact updates. Whenever you get a radio report, plot an estimated course - then search the area. Do a basic speed/course assessment (3.15 minute rule) and attack. The works poorly for TFs, but they are so rare that you just make a guess. I suppose I'm criticizing your way of attack, but in my mind, with perfect course information, how can you miss?
