It's not that difficult, and after playing with it you'll facepalm yourself , that you didn't use it before....

I'm sure it is, the idea of doing it just holds no appeal for me. I'm not interested in celestial navigation of my uboat. I want to plot a series of waypoints for a course and have my uboat magically go there. I only pop into the game when we have a contact. Especially with external views disabled, most of the eye candy of the game is gone. It's all about pressing contacts, making attacks, and evasion until I'm out of fish or too damaged to continue, then return to port.

OK, no problem.... if/when you get bored and want to take it to a 'new level', you know where it's at...
Gotta go sailing...

@vanjast - OK I'm game. I'm always on the lookout for more realism.

Does it require a whole new GUI though?

The weather clears after 8 days of junk, and within 12 hours we have a convoy..



I know I'm in the Western approaches area... Full of BDU 'aggression'
get into position ahead and beam direct into the convoy aiming to slip quietly past the front guy, only to find that the little horror has asdic.

Dive deep and come up within the convoy.. with the pesky mosquito hounding me. Got one hit from 90 degree shot - not sure which ship.


Mannn.. there is no shaking this pest.. doesn't he want to go play somewhere else ??
Did a classic Das Boot crash dive here...


He's not good with the DCs though.. I still do not have a scratch

Not if you're prepared to install in manually.

Find the older RealNav mod and the manual installation method is in the documents.
Explains what changes are made.

Depending on your screen vertical resolution though, you might have to rescale the sextant (the draggable one).
With the one that exists in the obs-scope (later NYGM wide screen), you can copy the reticule image files into your scope images - might still require scaling.

Game crashed before I could save this.. Was giving the escort the slip... and kaboom - Errr.. SH3 now refuses to work !!!

I guessed the speed (no time for fancy calculations) and just fired 5 torps at 5 targets.. 2 hits ??
I was an idiot.. the last 3 torps I forgot to set the TDC back to auto...
