Oh, is that's the bloody bathtub we are looking for. Well, he only goes through the straight there. He doesn't actually turn towards Aarhus. So since he still has a couple of days to go before he reaches Gotenhafen (Poland) he's Prime candidate for following and anticipation of his doom.

So, since it took him a hand ful of days to get near Aarhus that "End-date" is appearantly the end-limit of his spawning, not the end of his existance in the Sh3 world. I would guess there are a handfull of his brothers/clones still on the way aswel.

But this was all information from a "Divine Intelligence" source so you may ignore everything of it if you want to keep in the dark.

Good news to hear, I will keep on her tail, and keep you posted. Like I said I'm around 80% realism, and don't use the f12 to sneak a look until I have made a positive visual ident first. Also I manual target, so no weapons officer.
When does the official Bdu ok come to sink Merchants? Is it on the 4th of September. Will be worth the wait.
As I indicated above, the ship kind of made an sudden course change towards the east coast of Denmark. This happened while I was warping at about 32-64x, but I was keeping a close watch on the range. Calm seas, little wind, moderate viz at 0900hrs, with about 8-9000m range kept at all times, checked every 2-3 minutes while warping. Since it is going to Poland, does this course change indicate evasion due to spotting my boat, or at this point given the neutrality between our nations would the merchant even care?

Thanks again Shoopzee.

Part of the 'F1' function is a list of 'Enemies/Allies' by date. It will tell you exactly when you can shoot at each country's ships.

Does the 'Flaggen' chart give dates or just show the flags? I've never looked (still haven't started a GWX campaign).

Probably he detected you and started zig-zagging. I think the course change is something like 30-45 degrees either side. So that may be interpreted by you as a complete course change. However, he will turn back after some time and maintain his average course while zig-zagging.
