And weapons or radars wont have any info in equipment screen.
One wish , is it posible to get mod/new feature : weapon officer to tell torpedo solution ? Like in SH3 ,would be nice option between manual / full automated torpedo attack  |
Hey! Thanks for reporting so quickly, there. And of course an in-game mission with null briefing text won't have anything to identify it, so we'll have to do some detective work on that one. That was extremely good luck to get a flawed mission! You've already helped the mod.
CapnScurvy has a solution to the equipment screen and it will be implemented along with his interiors. He will also be providing the fix for the ConteVerdes and the Nagara.
Since the TDC of an American boat works so differently from a U-Boat, our WO can't actually set the TDC. The best he can do is give a speed estimate based on two stadimeter sightings at least one minute apart. And much of the time that estimate is much worse than picking a number out of a hat, as the stadimeter is the most persnickety, contrary, awful thing to wrestle with... Make a mistake and the WO can tell you the target is making 75 knots. And there are no checks and balances to help mitigate error with that method.
You're much better off using the trump card of the American submarine, the single aspect that makes it totally dominant over the U-boat: RADAR. You should have target course and speed well before you can ever sight him. No weapons officer can give you that information.
