Hi all.

I once saw a tutorial/explanation of how to calculate where i can expect to intercept a ship, given its speed vs my own speed. But i have long lost that link. I tried looking around here, but no luck so far. Anyone able to give me a pointer?

Any and all help appriciated.

Here's a guide that you maybe looking for. It says for convoys, but singles work too.

There was another document that used to be on the SH3 forum It was a PDF document that contained a nice graphic showing the steps all on one image. I have a hardcopy of that image but for the life of me, I can't find the original thread?

The graphic has a cyan background with the steps diagrammed in black, Blue, red, yellow and green for all five steps.

If anyone could find that document, I think it would help the original poster.
