Intercepting a contact

Col Frost · 01-27-11, 02:15 PM

Hi all,

I have just recently returned to GWX 3.0 after an extended stint with Napoleon Total War, and have tried to find a thread explaining a method to plot an intercept course with a radio recieved contact, bur without success. I found a method for doing this previously (Not Wazoo's one) which involved plotting beariings from the U-boat to the target, estimated speed etc, drawing a compass line to intercept bearing lines etc.

Does anyone have a link for this please?

I thought this was great. Afterwards, somebody posted a single image that showed all steps but I don't remember where I saw that.
