Thanks mate, just figured out how this method works, It's taken 3 hours thinking about it and trying to copy out the map as you draw it felt like I was

for a long time. But I did it

and am now off to try it for real. Thank for this I've been having real problems plotting courses by visuals, now all I need to figure out is a rough range and I can plot an intercept

.

Again thanks

edit: hold on a moment

! what the hell do you move the U-boat for

?? it dosen't apear to be neccesarry to calculate the course

??

edit edit: OH NICE

! The theorietical fourth bearing from your original position intercepts the actual contact bearing at your new position giving you the course and distance of the merchant from your U-boat rather than a parallel one. Brilliant

.

Edit your narrative slightly, give step by step diagrams, and get the moderators to sticky this thread, this is fantastic!

This would help a lot at least for me. No roleplaying, just a straight up "how to" along with having having Konrad's auxilary drawing in English.

This Kaleun has to go lie down as his head has been pounding ever since he read the above post...

It works!!

only problem with this method is if the bearings are too small it requires a full page to work it out... or a very very small initial circle

It's a good meathod even if it takes advantage of certain historical unaccurancies in the game. Anyway, those who are familiars with modern subs simulators like 688i, Sub Command or Dangerous Waters will sure learn this method very fast. It is essentially what a modern sub/frigate does all the time.
