MH, God bless you, sir!

This is the video I've been waiting for. I'm a "steps" guy, too, when it comes to learning something. I made a M$ Word document based on Neal's video of him attacking the Yamato-class BB. This video is what I was looking for in the first place.

I didn't understand how to use the protractor to get the AOB until this video. Great find!

Next on my list of learning "to do's" is how to use the protractor and compass to mark a contact on the map using WernerSobe's "sonar-only" method of setting up a firing solution. It's the only way I can think of to get a proper course and location of enemy ships when in a storm or in a pitch black night, with no radar. WernerSobe's video is fantastic, but it assumes that one already knows how to use the map tools.....which I don't yet.

What I find interesting is how many otherwise outstanding videos forget to teach the most fundamental aspects of the Nav map & tools. I have yet to find one that talks about nothing but how to plot on the Nav map with the tools.
