Not quite sure how it was handled when multiple subs operated in the same patrol area...I think they used lattitude and longitude for the patrol boundaries in that situation.
14 areas??? Wow! Just 14 in all of the great pacific.. just imagine getting a radio message: "Convoy spotted in area xxxxx" ! LoL!!! Happy hunting, if we find anything! :rotfl:
I surely hope latitudes & longitudes are implemented, together with celestial navigation.....
