Yeah the sim might be correct but still we need constant adjustment to our course. For me it should be that way. Helmsman corrects all the time to keep us on 0° course and after 500km we end up still heading 0° but we're 20km SW from our estimated end point because of drift, wind slowing us down etc.

In a very heavy weather I let them go, hit the TC and watched. We end up heading 60° of given course... probably we would be doing circles soon...
