Taking the next step

For targeting I endorse maillemakers advice.

Map contacts:
If you've come this far, you certainly don't need them.
To me, they detract much from the immersion.

National identification:
Unfortunately, yes, you just might have to make another pass.

Zig zagging targets:
According to The Uboat Commanders Handbook, once you loose the element of surprise, you've lost your oppertunity.
Option 1 is to let them go permanently.
Option 2 is to let them get a few hours away, then pick up the chase on there original base course.

This is great to know. It makes sense in hindsight, and I can't describe how frustrated I've been when the only thing the target keeps showing my his stern on route to the opposite side in rough seas. I've ran out of torps trying to pull off an up the a$$ shot.

I also translate "heavy fog" to mean "forget it".
The stuff used to eat all my torpedoes, without paying anything back for them.
