(REQ) a small u-boat id on nav maps for direction

If you reintroduce the 'U-boat tail' ... all contact tails are reintroduced for all surface units... making your intercepts too easy.

Thanks for the response; but I do not always care to zoom in to see my direction; I'd rather a quick glance instead.

I do NOT wish to restore tails, I think this was a great improvement in realism. But, could there not be some other way to indicate u-boat direction when zoomed out on the nav maps? The 2 zoomed in nav maps contain a overlay for direction that rotates with the direction of the boat. Coundn't there be a real small arrow or pointer be placed on each of the other overlays?

If I understand correctly, you can alter the zoom factor for the overlays so they will still display when zoomed out at higher elevation.

It may be possible to create a simple overlay indicating your boat's heading for use at higher zoom elevations on the map or merely adding an arrow to the overlay as it is now.

Anyone out there know this for sure?
