Index of viewing direction. (navigation and comm help)

[Rizzar]

Hey guys.

 

One thing I really miss a lot in this game is the opportunity to check the direction of an object.

 

When someone asks you which direction to go you can only give vague answers.

Whether it is a distant port, a ship or a landmark, all we can do is estimating the direction via the ships compass orientation.

 

This affects OW and Battle (in addition there is no given cardinal direction !?!?!?) aswell.

 

 

In reality it would be very easy to take your compass, point it to the targets direction (or with a fixed one get yourself behind it) and determine its bearing.

There are even sights on compasses to make this really fast and accurate, too.

 

 

I suggest to implement a single compass line showing the viewing direction of the camera.

 

This would help with/improve navigation, targeting and communications.

 

quick example:

(hope this will be visible)

 

 

Greetings Rizzar

Seemingly simple change that would definitely be used.
