gotcha! But in watching and thumb nail measuring the videos as per the first post and accounting for all vagaries of WWII: including if the crew has its grog ration, the fighting spirit of the escort captain, additional or upgraded larger rudders, sea conditions etc. etc. the sanity of the modder vs the simplistic joy of the gamer becomes the issue. Throw in doing a 180 in my 65'( no power steering 5 axel) eighteen-wheeler at 25 mph(w/o 'jackin' the cab!), a Catalina 25 or 37 ft Ketch(under motor) and a 18' Grummin canoe with a j or sweep stroke...and 3 x the hull length is an adequate consideration of the matter at hand. I have no way to consider one screw(inboard of the turn radius, in reverse, while the outboard screw is forwarding to warp the turn more tightly... if that can even be practically done. But at least I thought of it.
