Plotting Exploit or Not?

ryanwigginton · 01-21-10, 12:20 PM

I'm playing with GWX and OLC (not sure if this makes a difference to my question) and notice plotting on the surface is very simple. I ask the office on deck to give nearest visual target. He gives bearing AND range. If I do this again ten minutes later, I can now plot heading, and calculate speed.

When I'm submerged, I have more or less the same view through the scope. Yet there's no way to get range information, as on the surface.

2 Questions...

a) Is there an error margin built into the officer on decks range estimation?

b) Should it be possible to get range information from an officer when looking through the scope or should we disable his ability to range when surfaced?
