Sorry, you are quite right Von Zelda, I do mean Metox, and not Fumo. I'm glad I don't have to rotate it myself.

So historically it DID give bearing to course, albeit with a low accuracy and no actual ability to determine whether airborne or shipborne.

I've often wondered whether this feature was incorporated into the game. As i play on 100% (that is with no map contact updates) it seems the only info i get from the metox is whether there is a signal or not. There is no bearing information. This is obviously much less helpful.

Or is it possible to get a signal readout in the radar station as you do for radar and sonar? That would be really helpful
