SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - turning off map updates and tracking targets question

I'm goin' down · 11-16-08, 02:57 PM

Have tentatively mastered automatic targeting and manual targeting using the aspect ratio, I was arrogant enough to turn off map updates as I confidently adjust the settings for my next mission to 50% realism. Off Honshu I located a convoy at 60 miles on the map, and moved into position. The problem was the convoy was never updated on the map, and sailed past me at 5,000 yards to starboard. I could not surface to get ahead of it for fear of being spotted. Now for the questions. (1) If map updates are off, how do you track a target outside of radar range. (2) If map updates are off, how do you track a contract once you make contact with the hydrophones or radar?
