hi all

[mowgli99]

Hello i have been reading this forum for awhile and finally have this game. I only have stock for now but i have a question. Is there a way to have a merchant indentificaton book during career. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi mate, and welcome to Subsim!! Is it a recognition manual you are looking for?

[mowgli99]

yes it is i can only find warship manuals. and thankyou

Hey there. The merchant identification is not done by country but by as a whole. When you open the book it opens at Albania, hit the left arrow and you'll find the merchant category. All the country listings only refer to the warships of those nations.

And welcome by the way

I don't speak German, so I may not spell this correctly, but the merchant section of the recognition manual is marked "Handelschiff" or something pretty close to that. In stock, merchants don't vary between countries, so this section will suffice regardless of nationality. Let me know if anything is ambiguous or confusing.

yeah from what ive been reading i'm used to it now. Ummm. if it's not to much trouble, i have been reading intercept guides but in game but i can' find any protrators . It's not that big of a deal b/c i have sorta developed my own way of intercepting but the guides way may be easier. Any help again thankyou in advance.

p.S the merchant thing works and i love it here and hope to be posting more often

The symbol for the protractor tool does not look like the half-circle shaped piece of plastic that you use with pencil and paper. It looks more like a compass (the one used for drawing circles not navigation via magnetic fields). It's a three click tool. The first two clicks are the endpoints of a line from which you will pivot to form an angle whose measurement is shown by the tool. The third click sets the endpoint of the second line so that what you're left with is either an acute or obtuse angle whose measure is shown. Hope that helps. If not, speak up and I'll try to explain another way. Can't remember the location of the tab on the nav map off the top of my head, but I think its on the right half of the set.
