That's right I'm sorry. I meant perpendicular course, bearing 0Â°, AoB 90Â°. You are using the MILS method also, which we were discussing above. Do you have a complete chart for this? I had one which I had scibbled in a notebook, which got thrown away before I could put it on the computer. I haven't gone on patrol in a while because I need to redo the chart before I do.

The one problem I have , and something that is very realistic and really hampered the uboat effort, is that in poor visibility I might not have 3:15 of visibility time. Also, being submerged, I am at the mercy of the convoy if they change course.

It's easy to see why the uboats were so much more successful on the surface than at PD.

I'm sure kalues did have extensive combat tables, similiar to what an artillery unit would have.
