Bob, by intercept I mean find

sublynx, thanks for the information, I will search about wazoo because I can see my uboat on the map.
But, I will check also the hitman GUI, and the coastal guard tutorial because not being able to see even your own uboat sounds really interesting (is there a mod that does that?).

Thanks for the replys guys!

I thought you meant estimating target info and intercepting at full difficulty, sorry...

One can edit the tga picture that represents the u-boat on the map. If one makes it transparent one does not know exactly where it is.

English is not my mother tongue, so there might have been some misuderstandments with the vocabulary i used (sorry about that).
You will understand my question if you visit this link (from the SHIII Community manual).

Go to Claren's Easy Course-to-Target Plotting Method.
At the pictures you will see that at his map he has a contact, and based on that contact he makes his whole intercepting solution. The question is if you have not that contact on map (no god's eye map update), how one will be able to come close enough to the target so that his watch crew spots the target?

Ok. You use the hydrophone, or in short range visibility the radar - if it's safe to use the radar. Maneuvering board techniques can be used with both the hydrophone and the radar. Here's one way of determining range, speed and course:

Kuikueg's four bearing method.

Thanks for your time sublynx, that is what I wanted!

That's good to hear! If you have problems with any of the methods I'm sure someone can help. Pisces and makman94 and many more of the frequent SH3 forum regulars are really good in understanding and explaining the geometrical problems that can arise - if they happen to have the time of course.
