100% Realism n00b

Nico09 · 04-07-10, 02:30 AM

As the title says! I have pld SH3 & 4 and now 5 but this is the first time i have played it at 100% realism. I have always played on 76 or 79% with contacts on and ltd fuel off, ohh and outside cam as i do like eye candy.

The problem, how the hell do i plot a course of a contact with the tools and tool helper? i know how to use the tools bu the tool helper is totall confusing me as it seems to be upside down

.

For instance i have a contact on a bearing of 20 degrees, from the periscope and i know its roughly 1500m away as i have id'd the ship and got the distance from the stad (not that that works very well

). Anyway I click the tool helper then the ruler, i then get lost, infact i get very lost. I have looked at a video and a thread on how to use the tools (which was very well done).

Anyway i have just finished a very long night shift and am going to my bed. Any help with using the tool helper would be much appreciated.
