I started to see things differently, started to fell relative courses

Yes Hadrys, that's the key....
The plotting we are used to in SH3/4 asumes the perfect knowledge about our sub's position, but in reallife that was very difficult if not impossible in the middle of a sneaking approach. Thus the methods developed by germans involved heavily relative comparisons
between what the target and the own U-Boot were doing, not to were they were located in GPS style coordenates
. For example, constant bearing of the enemy plus an AOB estimate gives you speed with simple Law of Sine maths, and constant bearing of the enemy at 90º/270º allows you to easily get a very exact AOB with rather simple maths or even some pre-configured tables. Non constant bearing can also provide rough speed estimates, applying corrections and so on.
All that was done during the long range approach, then the U-Boot submerged for the close approach and did ocasional periscope checks. By the time she was on firing range, most data were well confirmed....

Wow very impressive, can't wait to put my hands on it but I don't know a word in spanish... so till now it's good to know that my approach is quite good! With celestial navigation it gives a very nice feel as a commander.
