radio contacts are too accurate

I guess many of you have noticed that radio contacts give a true course, and therefore AOB solution, which is 100% accurate, unless the target has changed course at some point (which does of course happen). I know the specific location of the target is unreliable, but given that AI course are always in increments of 5 degrees, you can be absolutely sure of the true course of the target.

I'm a bit fed up of this actually, it supports lazy play. I feel that the written component of the contact report which includes a general heading of, for example, ENE should be enough.

Does anyone know if there is some way to remove the tail from the contact icon on the map?

Much obliged
