4 bearing method impossible

I concur with Fidgety that doing bearing-only interception is pretty much impossible in Uboat. For one the resolution on the manual hydrophone seems to be very low. In the silent hunter series you can narrow the bearing down to a degree. Not sure if that is realistic but it makes taking accurate bearings possible. Secondly the map blip shows you the bearing, range, and even course getting in the way of plotting on even the most realistic settings!

This is very disappointing to me. I spent hours developing my own mathematical conjectures and proofs for target motion analysis methods in the silent hunter series. It makes for an interesting hunt. If you made more advanced tracking and interception methods viable on the hardest difficulty, and added some troop ships and ocean liners and various other targets, I would rate this game 5/5. Right now it's just a bit boring on even the hardest and most realistic settings I'm afraid.
