I've moved it even more to the left but still can't subtract 1° and not so sure about those numbers. Using flak camera doesn't change anything. Maybe I'll try 75° verstion. However getting my lat from ctrl-click and Vans map in SH3 i get 2,5°W instead of 4°W... so I'll just keep on plotting and enjoy flat sea, cloudless sky not worrying about sextant and try to sink something using slide ruler (great thing)!

This is still a little bit strange. On my current patrol it seemed as I had to hold the sextant a bit to the left to get an accurate reading and as I travelled ~10° north it was good again.
Also, in bad visibility the longitude method gets something inaccurate (the measurement was about 2° off).
But that wouldn't be all unrealistic because it should be very hard to determine the exact time of your local sunrise if you can't see the sun because of clouds and fog
.
Then I decided to just let it go with ctrl+click and do the best I can to navigate and see where I get with that.
I soon got a contact report for a large convoy SW from GB because of the heavy fog I have to approach it very carefully to not run into any escorts but I'm almost there.
