understanding bearing ?

[flag4]

hi hunters,

im trying to understand bearing - in light of doing manual targetting.

im using olc gui mod and learning from the vid tutorial.

but im confused - still ! - with understanding bearing.

here goes: if my WO reports a ship at bearing 301 who's bearing is this, is it my bearing - from me to him or his bearing from him to me. if it is his does this make his bearing 59 degrees ( ????) to me - im lost, but feel if i can clarify this i can move on to use the plotting tools etc.

how does BEARING work, how come there are two, as above. if you watch olc's tutorial you see him drawing up a 59 degree bearing after his WO has reported a ship at 301 degrees.

i know i have posted this question before once and twice over, but i cant get my head round it, maybe a diagram would explain it better - i dont know.

i dont even know if i have made myself clear ??

i do find it a bit , but im not angry just confused.

i feel its all well and good being able to DO something but the secret to me is knowing WHY something is. at the moment im not that close to either.

im grateful for any attempts at clarifying this for me
