I had to relearn a few things with the new patch. Magnification with the scope is not as good as the other patches but I believe the current magnfication is darn close to the real deal. This make ID of the target a bit more difficult. Also, for the speed estimate to work properly your range and bearing readings need to be pretty darn accurate. Last night in heavy seas my plotting team said the target was making 7 knots. My poor range and bearing inputs created this issue. The target was making about 4 knots. Four fish gone
. This occurred in RL as well. IMHO it is more realistic and requires better calculations on our part. BTW, you can still change the speed if you feel your guys are wrong on the speed. One more thing, when I engage a convoy I concentrate on one target and plan on sinking 1-3 targets before I disengage. Attempting to get them all in one engagement is darn near impossible with the new improved DD. So put your efforts into the fattest target!
