I get that part. BUT, what about when I can't see the enemy ship and I'm using sonar to establish it's bearing and range? How do I use the protractor to establish the first mark I make. I think once I get that bearing line marked, it'll be relatively easy to use the compass to get the range, and then make that first mark on the spot where the two lines intersect.

In short, when I can't see the enemy ship on the NAV map, it makes it more difficult(at least for me) to make that first mark on the NAV map. There's gotta be a video out there that shows this. If not, I may have to make it myself once I figure it out.

Time to go looking for mods. It's in Trigger Maru by default, but what you want is the 360° bearing plotter. I hotlinked to the maker's picture:


and you can find the thread for it here. That gives you a nice circle around your boat on the nav map showing bearings as well as range. Just draw your line down the appropriate bearing.
