need some strategy tips

But the right line goes up to 200 min. What do u do if the time in minutes is over 200 min.

In 20 minutes it moves a tenth of the distance it does in 200 minutes. Just move the decimal mark the same number of places in time as you do in distance. It it's not as precise as with a proper extended scale, but it should get you in the ball-park. And iirc, the waypoint ETA calculation isn't more precise than 10 minutes anyway.

hi Avers, and welcome to sh3

if you mean what to do if the time is more than 200 minutes... in GWX you have 2 draggable speedcharts in the top left corner of the navmap. nr 1 is a conversion for knots to KM over several hours

so you can very easily work out how far your target will travel in, say, 6 hours

conversely you can work out its exact speed if you track its movement over time.

practice in the early war years. attacking from periscope depth at sunset or sunrise are excellent ways to stay hidden and have a good view of the battlefield, that's how i got myself familiar with manual targeting and escort evasion, also it helps to get a 'feel' for what they can and can not see.
then again... i just attacked a convoy in december '39 on the surface and the sun started to come up.... there i was not 2000 meters away from the outer column with my pants down. quite an embarressment when HMS Rodney opened fire on me from within the convoy.

and yet... another great gaming experience, especially when i managed to get myself back to base still in one piece

ok thanx now I have another question and it's technical anyway I've been experiencing CTDs (crashes to the desktop) its been happening mostly after my pc has been on for a while but its also been happening after I leave port after installing a new mod. is this normal?

What I do that is quick and easy is cut the time in half, compute the distance, then double the distance.

So if it's 400 minutes to intercept, use 200 minutes, find the distance traveled, then double it.
