One of the big problems I had with SH I and SH II (I dropped off the planet and missed SH III) was:

I had no problem with plotting torpedoes. What I couldn't solve was plotting interception courses with enemy convoys. I could take sightings (or radar readings) of the enemy and plot his course, but could never calculate my interception course to put me in the best place at the best time to attack. It was a 'hit or miss' situation, particularly when confronting fast-moving Japanese capital ships.

Also a feature I missed from SH I (which I admit is a cheat) was the estimate provided of the distance at which your boat remained undetected. How are you experienced captains handling this issue, may I ask?

THANK YOU FOR ALL ASSISTANCE GENTLEMEN!
