Map contact

[derstosstrupp]

That’s one of those things that no subsim has gotten completely right. As far as U-boats went, the first watch officer did all surface shooting through the UZO, with the skipper giving his input or overriding him if necessary. Of course, for submerged attacks it was completely the skipper’s domain. He alone sat at the scope and made the decisions and called the values. However, every effort was made to estimate The values while surfaced before the boat submerged, Either by plotting, or more often by matching.

The assisted plotting mod is very slick and offers a pretty good compromise.

I see no reason to turn on map contact.

It's like a cheat with on

To use transparent tga is a nice idea.
However, with map contact off it's a simulation.
With on it's a action game.

That’s my preference as well. I play with nothing on.

I've used the Assisted Plotting Mod for years. I'm terrible at math and could never have been a submarine captain, or any other kind for that matter. I let the IWO do the plotting, and use h.sie's mods to create inaccurate plotting and I leave the periscope up for a time to simulate the risk of being spotted.

Hehe

I never do the deckshooting.
Always crew.

I could not live without the h.sie fixes. The inaccurate range is a must. I use that, adds a great element of uncertainty. Really forces you to try and plot over decent amount of time and fair the plot, if you have the time and are in a good position to do so.

Have you a download link for the inaccurate range mod.
This mod is new to me. Sounds more realistic.
