Additionally with no map contact update on, i also play with no sub icon on map so the 3:15 rule doesnt really suits me well.
I see, but in fact you don't need the icon, even if you are moving. If you manage to set your course quite parallel to the targets one before you start precise plotting, it's very easy to do the calculations - you just havr to make an additional plot marking your position avery 3.15 minutes. As you know your course and speed exactly, that's not a problem.
Its not that simple if you are not seeing your sub on map in real time, but i think my best only option is to set an aproximate parallel course with the target and calculate this way wich will eventually led to many errors
You don;t need the icon, man. You don't even need the map, to face the truth. All that's important is the RELATIVE course, you can plot it on a blank sheet of paper, on a black board or on the floor with a piece of coal... Just anywhere. Just think about it.
To do the Wazoos manual targeting while moving he instructs you to mark a position on the center of your sub an then to start moving at ahead slow, past 3:15 minutes you put another mark whre you sub is at the moment, so if you have no sub icon you have to consult the speed charts to plot where you are past 3:15 minutes it envolvs much more calculation an difficulty to the targeting that viewing your sub all the time, i suggest you try it to see.
