This mod is a revolution because it is based on historical facts.
I want to thank JoeGrundman and Hitman für developing the "Core technology" and Onelifecrisis for the finetuning and making this method/mod even much better.
For me the chrono with the coloured scales was not so immersive, and thanks to Pisces who found the methode to calculate speed using this genius trigonometric circular slideruler. So for me the scales are not necessary. Therefore I simply exchanged the clockface. Sorry for that modification.
Using this mod is very simple but at the beginning a litttle irritating. So let me contribute with this little pictured manual, to payback a little bit of the joy I had with the mod.
First we have to identify the target.
We can do this manually or with the assistance of the weapon officer.
I presume you all know how to do.
Now unlock the target Bring the crosshaair a little bit in front of the ships bow. As soon as the ship crosses the line, start the chrono. Attention, do not move the peri to the side. In the meantime you can prepare your terpodoshot to save time afterwards.
As soon as the stern crosses the line stop the chrono.
Align the number of seconds with the ships length. 69 seconds/140 meters and read at an angle of
58 Degrees the speed in knots, which is 4 in this case.
Dont ask my why this works. it is some trigonometric stuff.
No lock the target again count the marks that correspond the highest mast of the ship.
We have here 6 marks.
Align 6 with 90°
The double Mast height is now aligned with the distance x100 m, which is 18x100 1800 meters in this case.
Exactly at the target distance value, click and hold your mouse and turn the ring untill it is aligned with the shiplength.
Release the mouse.
Count the number of marks of half the shipslength.
in this case that is 18.
Aligned with 18 is the AOB and we read 80, but we know this cant be true because the ship is moving away from us. In such a case we subtract the reading from 180. The result in this case is 100° for the AOB
Feed the data in the TDC and dont forget either to feed the bearing data manually or let this be done from the system clicking twice on the button down right.
Torpedo los !!!
Bummm ! Jawoll Jungs wir haben ihn !
Well lets do it again !
