On a side note I just finished my first patrol. It was long (> month), and unlucky .April 1942: there were convoys around my AL26 grid but always too far. I have found convoy after 3 weeks, and managed to sink one large merchant. on my return trip i encountered escort carrier with one destroyer (first time ever!), but had only one torpedo and 10% of fuel, darn.Oh, and it was 3 weeks almost constant storm (> 10m/s winds).
After first patrol I can repeat: thanks for sharing your work.
Hello,

The GUI in Fifi's mod has some elements from Hitman's GUI, the documentation that comes with it will have some of the information you want. The graticules have a vertical scale in miliradians (each division equals 10/16 of a degree) and a horizontal scale in degrees. The mod comes with two authentic charts from a German manual that will help you estimate distance. With regard to the U-Jagd chronometer, it can be used to measure speed using standard procedure but it will save you some math, you can read the speed on the colored line that better corresponds to the ship's length.
Regards,
Diego
