A fleet boat commander had an entire team to assist with tracking. So, I don't feel bad using the auto map updates -- it isn't cheating or gamey to me. However, it makes things pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Actually, Feltan, I did you one better and dispensed with the periscope, stadimeter, map updates and the whole shebang with the new Dick O'Kane Sonar Only Technique. It's a scary technique for all the reasons you said above, but when you hit three of three torpedoes, it's better than sex!!!!

Would you believe as good as sex?

How about almost as good as sex?

OK, better than root canal surgery.:rotfl:

The Dick O'Kane technique gains nothing from having map updates on. With TMO map updates on is actually more realistic than map updates off. I share your misgivings about the map updates with the stock game. Oh, and you'll notice that my positions for speed and course are taken with radar in the video, so it is entirely realistic and you would do the same thing with map updates off.
