Dogs?....it's a wolf, one of my favourite animals..it's beautiful, I like the intro
Regarding the targeting, I'm confused, I want to do the targeting myself, but also make use of the sensors. Popping the scope out off the water and get the targets' speed and course only by watching the icons on the map is too simple, but on the other hand I'm annoyed by sensors that don't work and officers who just stand there like statues without being of any help. This is not a criticism of GW, obviously I do not know how the game works. Right now I am trying to calculate course and speed by the help of bearing and sonar ranging, using the nibelung device, but I cannot make it work! If I hear a contact at a certain bearing and point the sonar head towards it I only get a no target selected message in German, Then later suddenly it's possible to ping the target, but....the ranges are awfully inaccurate, so inaccurate that a ship heading 90 Dg. will turn out on a course of maybe 20 when I plot the ranges and bearings on the map, and yes, I have remembered to make the relative bearing into true bearing and yes I do know how to use the bearing overlay. If I then raise my scope and turn it towards the target and lock it and then ask the sonar man for the range to it I get a more accurate range, but still way off, it's as if there is no cooperation between the sensors and the crew members if you know what I mean. Also it's impossible some times to get a range to a selected target and not only the nearest war- or merchant ship. It annoyes me targeting is impossible to do properly unless on the surface which is the last place I want to be in the vicinity of an escorted convoy in 1943 or 44. What do I do wrong? Personally I think that the sonar approach is the best since it's more accurate than the scope and I want to keep the scope below the surface as much as possible..real German late war tactics also moved towards this which is why the nibelung device was developed in the first place.
