But i have a couple of questions i cant seem to figure out myself.
* ive been on 2 extensive long patrols now and Doing if by the book ( diving from time to time to listen for contacts , patrolling the charts on known convoy routes , making unpredictable patrol routes to Find targets etc etc ) yer i have only sunk 2 enemy ships and when i do Find contacts they seem to be neutral ships only. How do i Find more ships to sink?
* I get radio Messages Adressed to U-22 , yet i am u-99. The radio Messages talk of wolfpackes And expected convoys. Are they legit? Or are they just radio Messages for immersion?
* How do i plot bdu grids? For example grip Al 0316 is in grip AL16?
* how do i read & plot coordinates send by Bdu?
For example i get radio Messages from bdu saying a convoy is spotted at
Long 13 degrees 14 w , lat 62 15n degrees course ENE 15 knots?

Latitude and longitude are angles that uniquely define points on a sphere. Together, the angles comprise a coordinate scheme that can locate or identify geographic positions on the surfaces of planets such as the earth.
Latitude 0 is the equator what is above equator is North Hemisphere what is below equator is South hemisphere
Longitude 0 is GMT what and from it goes to the west 180 degree and to the east 180 degree....
never try to go to does coordinates what BDU sent u convoy spotted at "Long 15 degrees 14 w , lat 52 15n degrees course ENE 7 knots" cos till u get there the convoy is long time away from there and also if u leave your designed patrol are the patrol time will reset...... stay in your patrol are ....
how to find the grid there is a grid chart use that one to find your patrol area palmic explained u very well
example
AL16 grid coordinates are
Center 58°39.000'N, 023°48.000'W Top left 59°06.000'N, 024°42.000'WTop right 59°06.000'N, 022°54.000'WBottom left 58°12.000'N, 024°42.000'WBottom right 58°12.000'N, 022°54.000'W
PS in WWII was captains who never saw a ship in they patrols so no panic
