how I play the game silent Hunter GWX

first off, I play it at a 100% all things equaling true.

I tried many ways to get the map of the game outside the game. I tried tracing paper on the monitor at 125x but trying to use the protractor made it very difficult to measure the distance. Then I tried using print paper but had great difficulty in seeing the lines to trace . So I bought plastic and trace the map by placing the monitor flat laying the plastic on top of it but, the protractor wouldn't penetrate the plastic. So as a last resort I decided to take screenshots .the problem with taking screenshots of the map is, you're not taking a picture of a picture you're taking a picture of the pectorals. Now when you go to line up the grid marks they don't exactly match. The ink usage for red yellow and blue was $90. The purchasing of a X-Acto knife, a 90° ruler and one ship load of paper a high-intensity light came to about $50.so after about seven days at nine hours a day I had enough of the map to leave from breast on my first campaign. I tested, my ability to navigate on the map I created at my desk,departure was from BREST. My destination was a small island that doesn't have a name just outside of the point on the starboard side of the continent. Adjusting the the protractor to the correct distance and time and speed word in itself a little tricky. At a speed of 10 knots and a course of 250 taking two hours and 44 min. turn to a heading of 314 four 30 km at a speed of 10 kn ,one hour and 38 min. later I hit the island I ran the sub at one x I can tell you it was with great joy that I was able to do that

Not sure why you would want to bring the map outside of the game. SH3 is the first in it's series that allows you to draw lines, circles and protractors and all that on the gamemap. (SH2 made a start, but lacked something ... I can't remember) There is little that you can't draw on it.

But hey, if you suffer from map-fettishes like me, then who am I to argue. I can't help slowing my pace if I walk past a streetmap information sign. Stay true.
