Now that the tools are in yards im having a difficult time plotting an interception point for merchants or convoys, I used to use the method of 1nm = 1knot and could easily plot a course and know at what speed to travel at to get ther in time for a setup, but, now the tools are in yards and throws me off completely. When i use the protractor to draw my radius it is a huge circle because im not sure what yard will represent my speed or a merchants speed in miles. Please can someone show me how to use the tools now in yards to plot an interception course, prefer screenshots like the old methods showed when it was in km. I think 4000yrds is equal to 1 mile but my circle radius is huge now on my map and very confusing. I think many here would benefit by some ways of doing this with the new yards improvement, please help me and others understand better, thanks all, this is a great community for help and i hope someone can come to the rescue for us who are not so good at this, thanks again and a merry christmas to you all.
