That's why I put four words into my argument, "assuming you have radar." Yes, without radar, there was uncertainty, and real subs had a whole set of tools, (none of which we have in the game!), to reduce a number of observations to a course you could feel certainty in. Since we don't have the tools to deal with it, it's better that we have the precise positions we have.

If the sub had radar, their information would be as precise and continuously updated as what we have. The same is true if they took active sonar observations. As long as you take active sonar measurements or if your boat has radar RFB and TMO with updates on is my choice as not perfect, but by far the most accurate choice if you want to be faced with the same decisions real submariners faced.
