Very nice - now that's what I call service after the sale - Thanks developers, SUBSIM moderators, and all members who have made their (constructive) inputs! Now about that stopwatch... Actually, I find it more immersive to use the stopwatch just to mark time, along with the nomograph imported from SH3. It's sort of a gaphical slide rule superimposed on the map. Take your 1 minute, 3 minute bearing change - whatever you can, measure distance travelled, draw a line on the nomograph, and boom, there's your speed - input it into the TDC and shoot.

I was an artillery Fire Direction Officer in my 'previous life', so I love this stuff. technical fire direction, I imagine is very much like plotting a manual solution for a torpedo attack. Before we graduated to computerized fire direction, we had to learn to do it with "charts and darts" - a big metal protractor, thumbtacks, slide rule, logarhithm tables and TFT books spread out on a big paper chart of the tactical situation. But I digress...

Hooray for v1.2!
