Check this tool!!

It's for the WW2 game, but WOW I guess it can be very useful playing DW in windowed mode

Looks neat but we already have a more powerful one in-game, its called the TMA plot!

Well I certainly am glad you did this time. You see I am the Honorable Barrister Horst Washistnaym from the bank of Liberia. It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf of my colleagues who was with the federal government delegation to your country during a trade exhibition. Your particulars were given to me by a member of the South Africa Export Promotion Council (S.E.P.C) I am making this contact with you, based on the committee's need for an individual/company who is willing to assist us in the execution of this business. Within the Department of Minerals & Energy, where I work as a Director of the Project Implementation and with the good co-operation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as over due payment bills, totaling Twenty One Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$21,500,000). If you would kindly send me your personal information, bank account numbers, and two valid credit card numbers after we have verified your identity a sum of money will be deposited in your account, roughly 8% of the deal's value or $6,321,862.73 in your nations currency...please respond with all haste.

All should bear in mind this tool assumes you are motionless during the first 3 bearings at a fixed time interval. It then projects a 4th bearing another time interval later based on constant target speed and course. During this interval you should leave the original listening location at haste to create as much distance as possible. The bearing from the new listening location should cross the projected 4th bearingline as perpendicular as possible to provide an accurate range figure. From that you can also extrapolate backwards the place where he was and figure out speed.

Unfortunately this is not easy to do with the tools that DW/SC provides. It has no ability to draw lines like you can in SHx. So you are forced to recreate it on paper or something like MoBo.

It might be usefull in taking ESM reading and deterine the course of the aircraft. Your submerged speed (probably surface speed also) is alot slower compared to the aircraft so it won't distort the result by assuming you are motionless. Up until now (I've known about this technique but I never thought about it in context with SC/DW) TMA on ESM bearings was quite difficult to do by hand. But probabely because you can't automate the bearing taking process. And turning for your 2nd leg just takes too long, and your speed is too insignificant to make an effect.
