The Hunt: An illustrated example of how to sink a ship

[Iron Budokan]

I used it to help me intercept a convoy last night. Really good work and helpful.

This is very good info indeed. I have a question though. I was trying to plot an intercept course but then saw that the circle you draw in one of the first steps did not intersect any of the line, in fact it was quite past it. Does this mean that I made a mistake somewhere or does it mean that interception is not possible?

I've had that problem as well (namely, the line from my U-boat to the contact doesnt intersect the circle). What I do is extend the line until it does intersect the circle, mark it, and go from there.

I think it works anyway. Lately, my contacts have all been ones that I just spot on the horizon.
