Very funny. Long lecture about the stupidity of gun actions, followed by repeated stupidity. I like it. The "stay out of gun arc" trick only works on stopped ships.
What to do about the mines? The east coast barrier was to some extent a bluff and the thin spread of mines in GWX is probably fairly accurate. I don't know if the mines will affect you on the surface in the game, the fields laid had varying purposes as the war progressed, see https://naval-history.net/xGM-Ops-Minelaying.htm The only work around I know is to use the periscope underwater, but this is NOT realistic. IRL you cannot see very far underwater in the North Sea. |

By the way, what is this march music? It's very appropriate for a successfull return at port. :yep: |
Episode 28
We start a new patrol and I show how to plot an attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAvWaorjeqo |
that was cool. Can't win everytime.

Nice in theory
Whilst running a plot might be realistic, is perfect plotting compatible with full realism? It all seems to assume that your boat can maintain a perfectly accurate heading and speed and plot its own position perfectly. It all works perfectly in the game...
It's also fortunate that your targets only zig zag AFTER you have attacked them. Enjoying the different styles of you and Wolfpack345. I think you have the edge at the moment because of your greater nerd coefficient! |

You are of course right in that this method works best in good conditions. It will not work if the ships vary their course or speed, and I imagine it would work less well in rough weather (although I would expect a helmsman to be able to stay on course if the boat is submerged and a navigator to make an accurate plot). I had used this method in SH5 TWOS with the real navigation mod, and it still worked, it just required me to plot my own position as well. In the next episode I will be attacking another ship with the same method (I will do the plotting off camera though), and either because of errors in my measurements when the ship was still at a steep AOB, or because of the ship changing its speed over time I had measurements from 5,5kn to 8kn. A significant spread. In such circumstances I advise to use the value measured with the last observations in context with the average speed measured so far. That is likely to give a good result. |
