Big Tip: Use Map Contacts

[walsh2509]

Ive got map contacts on , that and auto/lead targetting so my % is some 70+%.

But the thing I find strange , when I click on a contact and say its details are 500km from me travelling at 10knts say its heading due South and I am coming up heading North, I draw a line out from the Merchant and mark X at the end of the line again say 500kms. That should take the merchant about 26/27hrs to travel to the end of that line.

To cut the time I travel up along it , I do this I click my boat and drag a waypoint line out up the line the Mrechant is travelling down. As I do this a small ghost icon comes out from the main Merchant ship icon, as to there is would be if I travel at x speed up that line.

But anyway, I sit at the end of the 500km line , put my watch up at run fast forward until In see nearly 50hrs have past. I hit the main Merchant icon on the map at it says the Merchant is 1km from my postition.

I go to torp depth and go to the sonar station and listen , nothing , to double check I hit the Key for contact and up comes No Sound Contacts!

I up back to the surface and look around and travel at speen up the line and back down it .. no sign of any ship or ships.

Not the 1st time this has happened in the game.

With SH3/4 uboat add , when I got a map contact in those games and did the same plotting distance/time/knts I would always find the contacts.

But in this game they seem to just disappear
