I usually didn't use God's Eye. I did use WO assitance though. So after switching to all manual I decided to go with God's Eye. But I'm not sure I'm going to keep using it.

My thinking was; there are a lot of guys doing different things when tracking a ship. The sonar man or watch crew can call out the bearing and also make a guess on the range. Someone besides myself can be drawing those updates on the map. So that doesn't bother me.
The problem is of course that the God's Eye is 100% accurate and updated second to second in real time. That takes away from the realism.

So I'm torn. I will probably stop using God's Eye after I'm better at plotting my own solutions. But for now it's just a bit much to have to do nearly EVERYTHING yourself when what you should be doing is considering approach and get away plans.
