Intercept course? - Page 2

Yesterday I had a really good generated ASUW game in a 688i. Instead of directly pounding the enemy vessel like I usually do, I decided to do things the other way, and just track the vessel for a while.

As he was off on my bow, I wanted to get a nice intercept course. Other then guessing though, I didn't have any means to calculate the proper course.
Does anyone know how to calculate a intercept course? In SH3 you atleast had some good drawing tools to use to calculate it, but not in DW..

I ended up going onto a lagging course, slipping in behind him and then caught up to him by going just a knot or two faster.(He had no TA...)

(Also, even though you're just YARDS behind a big surface ship, you dont hear the ship outside of the sonar station

)
