1 nm is very close to 2000 yards. So, when drawing your circle, dived by 2000 to get your speed in knots if the circle is small enough to be in yards.

is still think people are over complicating a basic skill take your time listen to which way the bearing is moving if on sonar and when using the scope check which way the contact is going then alter course to intercept you dont need to be exact get ahead of the group and let rip with the torps. just today on my 4th patrol i came across a task group to the north east of me heading south i intercepted using no tools and sank 2 fleet carriers and a escort carrier for 49850 tonnes i run the game on 100 % realism ad havent needed to use any of the tools or attack chart

Ok i get it now, took me a while but thanks for the help. When using "no map contact updates" do you guys go to periscope depth when contact reported and listen for bearing and judge heading by marking with pencil? have not un-checked this box for the moment and was wondering the best method for finding and sinking marus. Any tips would be great, again thanks all. Rockin Robbins
