1 the map is in KM but my missions are in NM,I do,nt know how many NM are in a KM.
what I do is use the ruler and measure out 160 km for 100 nm.Could someone put a
scale for NM in the map.
The fol is in caps only for clarity, I'm not "shouting", LOL!

THERE IS A COUPLE OF MODS WITH A NOMOGRAPH ( A SCALE THAT IS SUPERIMPOSED ON YOUR MAP AND ALLOWS THIS TYPE OF CALCULATION).

2 The telegraph is to slow , is there a way to speed it up,to try and lock on to a
target is diffacult.
NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY TOO SLOW. THE TELEGRAPH IS THE METHOD USED TO TELL THE ENGINE ROOM WHAT SPEED YOU WANT ETC. IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE PERISCOPE AND TURNING IT THEN SHIFT + ARROW KEY MOVES IT FASTER.
3 Some time the name in my orders are not on the map ,how come?
AGAIN, THERE ARE MODS TO ADDRESS THIS (I RECOMMEND TMO).
4 Acoustic torpedo is not acoustic,I fired at a ship and it went right by it
ACOUSTIC TORPEDOES ARE NOT PERFECT AND MUST BE FIRED WITHIN A CERTAIN RANGE AND ARC OF FIRE. AS MENTIONED THEY GO AFTER ANY ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE TO THEIR FRONT SO MORE SHIPS COULD MEAN MORE CONFUSTION FOR THE TORP SO TO SPEAK. HOWEVER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP YOUR OWN ENGINES AS I'VE SUCCESSFULLY ENGAGED A FEW SHIPS WITH ACOUSTICS AND I WAS MOVING AT A GOOD SPEED.
5 How come the WO can see ship far away and when I got to look I cannot see them. What the heck is ''long rang''?.I try once fallow his direstions and when 600 KM but found nothing.
LONG RANGE CAN BE THOUSANDS OF YARDS AND MORE THERE IS NO SPECIFIC NUMBER RANGE (I.E. BETWEEN 3000YDS AND 20NM). IT IS 'FAR AWAY', LOL!
THE CREW ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE MUCH BETTER 'EYESIGHT' THAN YOU AND WILL SPOT SHIPS AT QUITE A FAR DISTANCE. YOU NEED TO PROVIDE MORE DETAIL ON THIS ONE AS GENERALLY I'VE FOUND THAT IF THEY'RE SEEING SOMETHING AT A DISTANCE THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT TOO (EITHER WITH THE BINOS OR WITH THE TBT). IT MAY ONLY BE A FAINT WISP OF SMOKE ON THE HORIZON BUT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY FALSE SIGHTINGS YET. IF I CAN'T SEE SOMETHING I'LL ASK FOR A SIGHTING REPORT TO GET A BEARING AND SIGHT ON THAT LINE AND WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE OUT SOMETHING. IT ALSO HELPS WHEN I ADJUST COURSE TO THAT BEARING TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE.
