Please help me with TMO manual targeting!

Hello guys!

I am in trouble - I always played sh4 with Uboat missions. That means I was able to manually set the heading angle of the enemy ship... Now when they are DOTS on the map I can't do it - I've used the protractor earlier to define the course by the ship Icon - but now it is the DOT. My entire immersion is broken.

My question is: How to properly set the angle of my target? The ship icon in the original game shows me it position on the map by the back and forth and You know The DOT is a circle so I am confused. Sorry for my english. I am soo pissed off... Please explain to me how to do it. I can't even find the tutorial or something

((

Despite I LOVE this game and play it from 2007 to this day, there is one thing I hate in this game - No tutorial or solid manual targetting at all - I mean there is, but simple. It reminds me of Diablo 2... "Go ahead and try making runewords" sure, that game also tells you nothing about it... Internet solutions needed.

Also I could gladly play to original game but it is bugged as hell... That is why I decided to search for mods...This mod eliminate many bugs but ruin my immersion, because it comes with more complicated things like DOTS instead of ship icons... Guys Is there a real tutorial for this?

Go to the map, find the target dot. Place a mark on the map where it is.

Wait three minutes.

Place another mark on the map where the dot is now.

You can now use the ruler to draw a line from the first dot to the second, and read the target's course off the ruler.

Here, it's 245.

Measure the distance between the marks in yards, divide by 100, and you have the target's speed in knots.

500 yards in three minutes, so speed is 5 knots.

Depending on your options selected some of the mods allow the ship plot to show more than a dot when zoomed in.
