Not everyone here has a grasp of trig, and for those people couldn't you add a coloured box to the TAC screen indicating where the motar bombs will land?

Or at least where they have landed, eventually we mortals might learn. In, erm, years of playing Enigma I think I've only served a sub hog-side up once ;)

Actually that reminds me of Iron Wolves.... The hogs in IW would fire ahead of your ship at a certain range. It would appear on the map briefly when you fired them but, of course this wasn't marked on the map at all so you had to guess when aiming. One day I had the idea of using my green-highlighter to put a little green dot on the map section of the screen. The highlighter came right off without staining anything and I had an accurate guide to where the hogs would land. Eventually I had a circle of green dots all around my ship on the map. I NEVER missed with hogs after that. If I got in hog range... you were dead. I used my DCs from then on to scare them, in emergancies to kill subs, and to double check that they weren't coming shallow. That was the reason I loved the KK2...
