having tails on convoy contacts but not on single contacts - possible?

Agreed.
When I play a game I will usually 'play the game'. That is, if I see a tail I don't pretend I don't see it. I would take advantage of it because it is there. And just you know, play the game as it is.
The no tail convoys are a lot better, imo.


But as to your point about North East being a bit vague perhaps for a possible wolf pack hook up Schwuppes;
maybe it could be changed so it told the degree heading instead of N,S,E, or W.
That would be similar to a tail I guess, so I wouldn't want that much info. But maybe someone knows if that could be tweaked for ya.

What would be ideal would be if it told a degree heading but that figure had a margin of error of like +/- 15. Ha!

Seriously, I doubt that's doable.
