That was intentional. I forgot to mention it in the readme. My thinking on it is that when the crew sees a contact they're going to mention it and note its position. Without updates we really have no idea what's going on around the boat unless we look ourselves, which is a bit unrealistic. I dunno though - probably worth an in-depth discussion. Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age. Although I seem to recall that RUb also had 'no map contact updates' unchecked too, but there was a mod in there that increased the difficulty.
Well, they could note a contact's BEARING, sure. But you are the only person operating the UZO or Periscope stadimeter, so...how would they get the range or speed accurate enough to 'auto update' the map?
