Some newbie questions.

Thanks all.

OK, so when ships appear on the map, how do you plot an intercept if you don't know how fast they are moving?

maillemaker, I think this three part series of You Tube videos by Stoianm for SH5 entitled How to intercept an convoy received by radio from BDU in SH5 should go a long way towards helping you resolve your questions regarding speed and convoy interception.

OK, I only watched 2 minutes in, and I see my problem.

I am only seeing ship symbols appear on my map.

I have not received any convoy or other contact reports via radio that I have noticed. Of course, it is only December 1939.

But I have gotten no contact reports via radio as shown in the video, which include speed.

I also do not seem to get any sonar reports from my sonar man. Even when I am submerged and looking at the contact through my periscope.
