No map contact update
or any other helpful tools (cheats)

The G1 got a range of 12000 at slow 7500 at medium speed and 5000 at fast.

the electrical one only got a 5000 meter range.

G1 11000 yards.
Randomly fired into a convoy in '45 (and yes, suicidal), and tried to high tail it. While sinking at 200M, I heard i sunk a large merchant.

You heard? You told you, hmmmmm?????

By the way, isn't the real range of the type II 5 km? The game has it at 3 km, any way to fix this?

Designated targets, observed hits please.

Wild shooting at convoys occasionally produce hits but mostly wastes expensive torpedoes. That's luck not skill.

In '45, its either randomly shoot at a convoy and sink or just sink.
Either way, your dead.
