Plotting bearings on nav map. Question to modders.

I'm a bit fed up with the inaccuracy using the stock protractor when plotting target movement by hydrophone or scope. The idea is you keep track of the seconds with either the stopwatch or a mod clock, and mark your position on the map at the right moment, without pausing the game. Because you don't pause the game, you can't use Pato's bearing tool to find the right bearing but a stationary bearing tool that can be rotated to match your heading would solve all that. One can safely bet they had those tools in those days. I got one from the book store for about 2 quid.

Right now the only workaround (other than using the protractor) I know of is to read the bearing, transform to relative bearing relative to north and use one of the tools that are already available, transform back to relative to your sub and by then I need another cig.
