Yes. I think this is a good idea.

Thanks for this.

Sounds great, but what exactly are the differences between this mod and disabling map contact updates in the game proper?

EDIT: Got it (I think). So you disable map contact updates in the game, and with this mod remove your own sub and radio contacts from the map too, correct?

I found myself becoming a little disorientated when trying to judge my position and proximity relative to that of the convoy (even harder comparing with the movement of the escorts).

I think all in all once you become accustomed to the new environment, the challenge will be a more realistic one.

9/10

Excuse me Mikhayl but did not OLC have something like this feature in the latest Ubermod/GUI?:hmm:

With OLC you always have map contacts gone and very little possibility to zoom.

Contacts come in form of messages and very scetchy markings on the map. (that was the point

).

Even the sonar lines are deliberately inaccurate, meerely "hints".

Maybe just a matter of taste

.

IIRC map contact updates on/off shows/hides the icons for ships in visual range only.
