Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest lol

Well, without real navigation you always have your position on the map 100% correct and precise. Which is highly unrealistic.

If you use real navigation you will soon notice that you never know your precise position, especially if the weather is bad.

Coastal Navigation for example becomes a lot more exiting. (I once tried to find Wilhelmshaven in dense fog, ended up in Wesermünde)

You could just hide the plot line and player sub but keep the waypoint functionality?

You mean, the captain asks the navigator for a position fix, than based on this and navigator's opinion on things such as fuel usage, navigational hazards along the route etc. orders the boat to set such and such course. In areas where more delicate handling or frequent course changes are required, he lets navigator or harbour pilot take lead and only oversees the operation.

In short, exactly like playing with Real Navigation.

I mean, everyone can tailor game to their liking and play it however he wants, but saying Real Nav is less realistic than stock system is simply false.

So here it finally is, a tutorial showing how to use the Contact reports to your advantage by simply plotting an intercept course. You will find many more convoys by using this method :D


RAOBF and Attack Disc Tutorial




What would a U Boat commander see if he took a look at his navigators map? A bunch of lines and marks, but not the current precise location :up:

Modules that are damaged will get repaired even if they do not have the hammer on them, as long as they can be repaired at sea. I do not think that the hammer has any particular meaning. I could be wrong though.

I can move the observation scope with the page up and page down keys, and the attack scope with the insert and delete keys. Or do you mean moving to rotate the scope with keys? If yes, then that is unfortunately not possible (which is a good thing since keyboard keys are digital they are either pressed or they are not. Real life periscope controls are more analogue so the amount of input you give will determine how much it gets moved.)

Just saw your intercept tutorial. THANKS!

You are ringing the bell at the wrong address, WoS has not invented Real Navigation, this was in the game since the mod NewUis from TDW almost a decade ago. Go complain to him if you think you need. I'm playing WoS and my own modlist without RN and I'm happy, the good thing is you can configure WoS to your liking and it's nowhere written that you must use RN (or any realistic settings btw).

Do I really need to explain my self in this case?:hmmm:
Sjizzle already said why...There is a huge difference between disliking something and trashing someone's work. This is not the way to go IMO ...

Very nice video and useful, Tonci87 :up:
Your method to calculate interception course is simple and perfect!

I've done some text editing (tool tips, GUI functions description, supporters credits list ect) so you can re-download the latest update (v2.2.12) if you like. I haven't changed version number though since nothing "game changing" hasn't been edited...:yep:
Cheers! :salute:

Maybe someone is having a download-link, that is faster than 1 bit per minute? ^^

Good to know, thanks for the updates! :salute:

I tested some days UBoat, sure its a EA game but anyway it make clear what great mod we have here with twos. Great sub sim, love it so much! :D:subsim:
