I agree. I've been watching this thread too. Sextant navigation would be the ultimate in realism as far as I'm concerned. l3th4l or CaptainCox might be able to get us a sextant on the obs scope and I know for sure that the obs scope can be adjusted to have the elevation we need (if it doesn't already go to 90 degrees).
After that we'd have to make some tables for players and explain how to navigate using a sextant. But the big problem would be that the charts in the game start centred on the sub and there are other navigational aids that are automatically entered on the map too. I guess we could avoid using the game's chart and have a set of hard copy charts, but that might be expensive. The best option would be to somehow stop the game from centering in on the player's sub and to remove all the stuff that automatically shows the sub's position.
