Tell you what guys, try it like it is for now and when more people have had a chance to adapt/adjust to this small change we will visit this issue again.
Remember:
1) The tails will return at higher zoom levels. Ship & direction of travel will be shown.
2) You have a large/accurate compass that shows your direction of travel.
3) You can click on any contact (minus tail) and it will tell you direction of travel.
With this in mind, next time you get a contact report, click on it to get the direction of travel, then use the ruler tool + bearing tool to plot the approx course of the vessel and then adjust your course/waypoint accordingly. Just put yourself in the Navigation Officers boots for awhile and see how it sits with you.
Seriously, when we removed this tiny tga file (tail) we increased the immersion factor exponentially, which is all we have ever tried to do with GWX. You guy's have got to believe that you are actually in a U-Boat & at war, or we have not done our job.
Give it a little time.
