How to intercept?

[maillemaker]

maillemaker, if you are using the Hitman's Optics mod, you don't have a stadimeter. Only prewar boats had them, and Hitman removed it from his mod. When using Hitman's Optics, the graticle is a very good aid to estimating range and AoB. It's quick, it's more accurate than the rectal housing group method, and you only need a generic ID (big tanker, small cargo) to use it effectively. Check Hitman's documentation that comes with the mod. It takes an hour or so of practice to get proficient, but it's way better for AoB. (Unless, of course, you are playing with map contacts on, in which case you can just read AoB off the plot.)

Good to know, thanks! I am playing with map contacts off.

I am set on 100% realism and you complain because 100% realism includes map updates. I think you should complain to the GWX modder.

No need to get upset. I played "100%" realism with map contacts for a long time.

It just got to the point with me that using the map with the Harry Potter-like map showing the ship footprints exactly where the ships are made it trivial to plot intercepts and determine target speed and heading.

Once I survived the war that way I decided to make the game harder by turning the map contacts off.

It makes a huge, huge difference in difficulty.

So there is "100%", and there is "100%".
