Hi. I'm all new again. I haven't played much since Harpoon Classic relaunched, but am liking the bigger badder Advanced Naval Warfare

Is there another way to calculate range/bearing to target (without doing a bunch of math) besides the mouse rng/brng mode?

Also, is there a way to declutter the uncertainty diamonds? It gets tough to pick out the Unit Icons when you have multiple units in a small area.

Two good questions,

There is no easy range/bearing feature. You CAN get in the corner of each window the horizontal and vertical size of that window in nm, but those numbers can be up to 30% off. using the mouse pointer in range bearing mode is best.

There is also no way to declutter the UZs, in fact the huge UZs you are seeing are suspected of being the cause of some serious AI navigation problems (as well as eating processing power.
