Using the numpad makes plotting the lines easier, click a line on your map with the line tool then type in your 3 digit bearing 030, 320 ect, press enter on the keypad then type in your distance 20000 ect then click to finalise. If you make a mistake you can press backspace to go back one digit. Makes plotting very quick and easy and can give you exact distances and bearings without fiddling around.
You don't need an explosion to proof your actions. Just a periscope view of how far off a convoy member would have been from it's predicted bearing. my tip: Don't move backwards submerged between the 3rd and 4th bearing. It's too slow, and not enough distance to make a difference. Go on the surface in the direction of the drawn target course, so go parallel course to it. You'll get a better crossing between the predicted 4th bearing and the real listened bearing. Also, you do not need to be stopped. Just know where you are, and maybe electric engines stopped for a moment to hear. But as long as you can pinpoint the location at the time interval (reset navigator odometer at interval time to store, then later draw it in) then it should be good.
The end was just fun on my part... I disagree just depends on how long youve got to move... No you dont neeeed to be stopped but if youre not stopped you do need an experienced crew, it would be impossible to do alone while moving, as you cant reset the odometer, from the radio room and listen to the hydro properly at the same time
@@ezgameruk5236 2nd point: Sure you did get an angle between the 4th bearings. But look at how narrow that is. Remember you have inaccuracy in measuring at the hydrophone station and when drawing it in on the map. Just a halve of a degree off and the intersections are kilometers off, maybe even 10s of km. By going parallel on the surface you'll have the most relative motion to separate the lines and still put you in a good spot for further action. But yeah, playing this game alone is quite hard. You need to be pretty good drilled to pull it off alone.
Im assuming the convoy was moving at a very sharp angle so the best you can do in that situation is have the 2nd line intersect at the closest possible point to the middle of the distance number (at sharp angles the line you draw will intersect the 2nd line above the distance number) you're aiming to get equal distance each side of the 2nd observation line.
@@ezgameruk5236 The proper way to geometrically draw this is to: 1: draw arbitrary line across 3 bearings. 2: place cross on intersection with bearing 1 2: place cross on intersection with bearing 2. Start circle on the 2nd bearing cross, radius along the line, ends at intersection cross on bearing 1. 3: Put 2 crosses on bearing 1 far apart. Align the protractor to bearing 1 between those crosses with snap-to function. 4: place cross on intersection of the arbitrary line and the circle side near bearing 3 (so opposite to radius vector). 5: start a line from that cross, to 0 degrees on the rotated protractor, and another to 180 of the rotated protractor. This makes a line parallel to bearing 1. 6: Place a cross where this line (parallel to bearing 1) and bearing 3 intersect. 7: Draw a line from the last intersection (in 6), across the center of the circle, over to bearing 1. This is now the constructed target course. More work, but less eye-balling and more accurate.
@@ezgameruk5236 I'll look forward to the vid if you do. One little tweak in the steps: Step 5 needs only one of the 2 lines, whichever is going to intersect bearing 3.
@@Valenorious I'd also very much look forward to an update covering this method. I'm afraid I can't quite comprehend it from the step by step you gave, but then again a good chunk of my mathematical foundations are missing. When you say an arbitrary line do you simply mean a line drawn anywhere across all 3 bearings? And while it's a lot of work, I don't suppose you'd be willing to provide an image based tutorial? Thanks :)
@@Maxtorym when plotting that line we are getting the heading (notice heading and not location) of the convoy we have observed. Because we used timed intervals between listening to the hydrophone/ plotting it on the map each time (assuming that the convoy is travelling at an average speed that doesnt change) we know that the distance traveled between each reading is equal, therefore we must make sure that the distance number (in this case 320 something meteres at around 6:40) underneath the line we are plotting intersects the 2nd line on the tens number (of a 3 figure number) because that way we are as close to getting an equal distance on either side of that line as possible while eyeballing it. Once you plot that line on the 3rd line you now have the heading of the convoy because we also know that it is going in the direction of the smaller angle (of the angles between line 1 and 2 and between 2 and 3 if they are the same then the convoy is travelling at a 90 degree angle to you and in the direction of the observations. Yes im aware that all sounds very confusing but i dont know how else to explain it... i hope that helps?
@@springman22 the video shows that i found the convoy, but hitting a target in that convoy is a lot harder with only one crew member however the game has since been updated i believe to have a ui that makes it easier for single players
I actually did go to college to re-do english... i also dropped out because i consistently felt humiliated by the teacher because I was both awful at english and the only student willing to raise their hand and engage with the teacher. So thank you for your, shit, negative comment.

Nah they're not particularly complicated, but it was definately overwhelming learning the process in the beginning, its like anything else... 'practice makes perfect'

Redoing your vid would be a great idea as I does my head in trying to follow you. Edited, without time compression please :). Thanks for it anyway

thx so much

The font type and how everything is capitalised makes it really painful to read and follow.
Don't understand the part at 7:12. The way with the distance tens number intersected doesn't work for me...

Hmmm i dont get the part where you plot the course of the ship.
At what time in the video are you referring to?
6:40
10 th in the middle ?

not sure what this means but im hoping its positive.. so thanks! ^_^

Not rlly so clearly. You stated that it not end with a boom so you stuck another video there
