Personally, I can't see why not. We already have one map that has all the plotting tools available. And another map that gives you a plot according to what's in the TDC (with PK activated). I don't know why the two can't be combined.

There's an old forum thread that explains how to move the navigation tools and modifiy their size. After I finish my current patrol, I might take those two weeks of R&R to see what happens if I "paste" the pencil to the attack map.

Of course, if you have four arms, two brains, and twenty fingers you can take a range fix using the stadimeter, note the bearing, quickly switch to the nav map, mark your current postion, then plot the stadimeter data. Wait 3 minutes from the time of your first observation (which should, after all you've just done, be about 20 seconds ago), repeat what you just did, then measure the target's speed and heading.

Unfortunately, even if we could move all the plotting tools to the attack map, we can't use radar to plot a target's position. With radar, "automatic map updates" is about as close as we can get to a more realistic scenario.
