No Map Contact Update

... about the "no contact map update" i find it very... hm... how should i put it... :hmm: .. its just not right... i mean, someone spot a ship and yell "ship spotted, bering 330, range 3200m... so tell me, its IMPOSSIBLE to draw a ship in the map using the tools on its close location? no, its very possible, and very very easy. And the sonar, the sonarman yells "ship bering 276, medium speed, closing, long distance"... again its very very easy to take a ruler and a compass and draw a :rotfl: freaking :rotfl: straight line from the uboat and a small triangle in the end representing the ship. What shouldn't be done is updating this drawings in real-time... if it was in intervals of, lets say, 30 seconds, or more depending on the number of contacts around, that would be perfect...

Is it possible to be modded? It would be good to have small marks on the map after some 30 seconds after the ship has been spotted, of maybe a trigger, once you idenfity the target and get its solution, then the navigation officer could draw it on the map, and samething on the sonar contacts...

Thanks!
