The wheels are great! Transforms your game. You never need to waste time on plotting to get course again. Unless visibility is extremely poor, I find I often don't draw anything on the map at all, although this does depend on what it is I'm hunting.
The fact is that in RL neither the GErmans or Americans wasted their time using bearing plots -just too inaccurate. There are far more effetcive ways of doing it (although I still will do the 3 min 15 sec thing occasionally, if the situation calls for it, for example if I'm already sure of course and I'm just lying in wait, it's an easy way to confirm your earlier estimates)
As for finding manual plotting a bit too slow...well, that changes soon. The challenges never really stop too. With plotting etc you can get into position and make an easy kill some of the time. There are lots of contacts you will be unable to catch that way. A big part of the joy of this game is the discovery of new ways to get those targets you used to just give up on.
