Milk cow location displacement?

How far from the location marked on the map can a Milk Cow be displaced?

They move around a bit, but within 25km should be good. Try and at least spot it.

Clouds overcast. Precipitation Heavy. Fog Heavy. Wind 15m/s.

No radar.

I'm looking but I don't see anything.

that makes it realistic... i read on a book that 2 u-boats spent many days looking for each other (they were on the same grid) and never found each other. Only upon returning to port they learned that the other boat was in fact on the same area at the same time.

I meant the dot. Use the compass and draw out 25 km from the dot. You don't have to spot it. Just press exit patrol whenever you think you are close enough, and if it says

Dock at: U-whatever

then you're fine

If it doesn't, try your hydrophones, though I highly doubt you will need to

Oh, I can get the Dock at U-xxx option all right. I just wanted to see the Milk Cow before I selected the option. I always pull up right beside Bessel, Corrientes, Max Albrecht and Thalia. I would prefer to do that with a Milk Cow too, and if that means a few hours of searching, I'm game.

I pulled up right on the dot at 50m/square, looked around and then tried an outwards spiral search to 10km. Lots of water. No U-460.

Nothing on hydrophones either, yet.

As previously stated (I think) it's all down to how high a level of realism you want to play to.

If it's in rendering range, it's okay to press Esc.
