Bearing Plotter

Patchman, it's the 3000 yard/meter bearing plotter, twice as large as the one in the stock game. It is centered on the sub, so since it follows the sub around, has nothing to do with telling you the exact geographical position of the sub. It's function is only to measure positions of targets relative to the sub.

It does not measure relative to the target or the sub's position on the earth. That is what a GPS does. So the bearing plotter doesn't do anything a GPS would do. That's why your original post is confusing. Knowing a target bears 282º at 2350 yards tells you nothing about where you are! And so long as you have radar there's nothing unrealistic in having that information.
