I have not seen too many locations off by much. Just remember that everything is "flat" Mercator, even when you are on the boat. As you say though, a KM grid that can be imported into the ME would have been a really nice touch for them to do... It might be possible to do, but I cannot wrap my brain around it just yet. Maybe someone else has some ideas??

PB (and anyone else)
is The ATO Grid represented in a dotMIS file or is it a graphic that overlays the map at game-execution time?

It is an overlay, defined in the files of Game /Data /Menu /KGrid folder,

For SH4, it should be the whole world...

The destroyers find me, even though I'm at periscope depth and not moving. I only take out observer periscope for a short period of time. I mostly follow the hydrophone.

The mod has an option "harder escorts" and even "harder escorts v2(!!!)" - what's going on there?
