Time needed to locate convoy with hydrophones?

Have you even played the game? Have you even tried the navigator station? In what way is it different or lacking to SH3/4/5? Aside from the ability to drag circles, it is equal if not better overall than in the Silent Hunter (4) games. Try using the odometer in the SH games for proper dead-reckoning. (it's there, but cumbersome) Try finding the precise timestamp on the clock of an event. Try writing text. Try drawing tangent circles to a line. You can do the exact same and more compared to those games. Stop talking BS.

When you literally answer your own question, then tell me to stop talking BS........ "Yes it can't do what a decade old game can, but stop talking BS."

Correct, you can't drag circles. But tell us how that prevents you from drawing the lines to construct it. It doesn't. So that is why I said you should stop making unfounded accusations about the game and the quality of the game ascthe developers have provided thus far.

Can you do it accurately? Not really, depends on dexterity, eyesight, screen resolution and size, the ability to repeatedly align to the proper mark of the protractor. Are there ways around that? Yes, longer time intervals or more extreme movement to induce relative motion. Is it effective? The jury is still out on that. It was already out long before WP came out.

As you can read in the link I posted in a reply to Elphaba I was the first (I dare say) to mention this lack of the ability to draw paraĺlel lines. But if you read it carefilly enough then you might notice my attempt at providing constructive criticism and a relatively easy change (imho) with already present features. In stead of launching an attack with at how misserable the game is supposed to be. ( Like in a different thread you started)

Sorry, a game that can't do 1/3 the stuff a decade old game can do, is a game which has gone in the wrong direction. No matter how you try and spin it. When it's that far off, I don't see how "pointing it out nicely" will get anything fixed.

Don't reinvent the wheel, perfect it. Now all we have is a square that doesn't go anywhere.

It still desperately needs a parallel / sliding ruler.

Oh don't do that. He doesn't like hearing that a ten year old game still does things this game can't.

He will instead demand you make your own game. I.E: The fanboi argument.

Pisces has proved themselves and their observations and fact based opinions over time; they’ve also been a great contributor to this community.

Most of us left the playground a long time ago; don’t drag me into your issues.

Oh sweetheart, I wasn't sticking up for you, I don't care enough about you to do that! And I don't care "who" someone is. If I don't agree with their opinion, I don't agree. Just because they threw money at Neal doesn't make them a special person, atleast, it shouldn't.

Try reading your recent posts - especially the one to me - and then read your ‘signature’ and realise just what a hypocritical nasty little troll you’re being.

Read my signature, then try grasping and comprehension. Then understand I haven't tried to silence anyone. Then Google "Hypocrisy" and get back with me! I'll wait.
