You are correct, my saved games are no more. No big deal, though. The patch did install. On the screen at startup it now reflects v 1.4 where I had v 1.2 before.

I had planned to restart my career at the start of the war using manual targeting anyhow. Biggest problem there is obtaining a correct target speed. Kinda strange the game doesn't have a feature for this unless I am overlooking it. The new clock seems to just time torpedo strikes.

I understand some would look at target and simply guess as to speed, others would listen to the prop and tell but there was a way where you would take 2 timed readings and compute bearing and speed using cosines law. To me this sounds like the best way, especiallly if you are already at scope depth and unable to use radar to plot. Anyone use this method?
