First, yes in your example heading 114 is correct.
However another way of determining the same thing that may be easier. Up to you. Might be easier than adding numbers like your example though.
Your heading, no matter what it actually is, can always be referenced as 360.
Simply subtract the targets bearing from 360 and then subtract the result from your actual heading to get the course needed.
I.e. in your example take 360-346 = 14. 128 - 14 = 114.
Thank you for the help.
just a stupid question.
In my case I just got now.

My heading is 114.
Got a report bearing 165

so in your example.
360-165 = 195
114-195.... .... .... ....


Then I get stuck, this is probably something my brain should be able to figure out...
