Just remember there are 60 minutes between degrees to plot it correctly.
With the convoy speed, you should be able to calculate an interception point.
The convoy heading might be approximating, but when you approach your interception point you might have to dive to listen where is exactly the convoy.
The closer you are from the convoy report, the less error you will get on its heading.

Good hunting
Yeah, but if I remember long ago when I was playing even with real nav ou would get convoy position on the map. However, if you claim the manual way is the only one is there some tutorial on how to do it?I never did this or used relevant tools for that. I really have no idea where to start from.

thnx
