Hi all.

Im a fairly new player, with a couple questions I cant find the answer too anywhere, even various FAQs, so I thought Id ask the experts :-)

1 - I have read the "intercepting targets" guide,, and tried to use the method by 'Dantenoc' from teh manul wiki, but I do not have the Protractor tool on my nav map. How do I get it ? I only have the compass, marker and square etc. NO protractor.
(not that I understood the method very well though :-(

2 - My hydrophone guy reads out a contact, and then never mentions it again. How can I get regular updates from him ?
I just cant seem to find any contacts, unless I see them from the bridge. I need some help doing it all from sub-surface without using the 'gods-eye' view all the time.

3 - In my 'awards' section after a patrol, I can never give promotions. It always says I have to complete a patrol, but Ive done 3! I tried to sail home, instead of 'return to base', but that didnt seem to work either. How close do I have to be? How do I dock and is that how I get a 'complete' status inorder to promote my crew ?

I hope you guys can help.
Many thanks.
Bones.
