GWX, and most other ubermods, erase the tales in the non zoomed out view.

I'm a fuel miser too, so I try to set limits for food etc.

I stay at sea, in a type VII, a maximum of 56 days. (I believe this became a directive later in the war)

In a Type II, I try to keep in around 21 days.

Because I don't zoom in with the Nav Map, and intercept course that I think is right on top of someone, might be 25km alway. Plus sometimes you get the convoys that alternate courses between E and NNE or something to that effect. If you zoom in all the way on the Nav Map, to just before the hydrolines appear, I think the intercepts are too easy to plot.
Ahh OK I see, you're only partially using the map update feature and you have your own self-imposed rules for zoom that diminishes the accuracy of the plotted contacts. Now it makes sense as to why you'd miss on some intercept attempts.

Hmmm, interesting... :hmm:

Do you have a set map scale that you don't allow yourself to go below when BdU reports a contact?
