Hi Guys
I think Manual Targeting (MT) contains some sort of fear factor for some players.
Look at MT in the most simplistic of operations.
U-Boat position 800 to 1000 metres at 90 degrees to the targets course line.
Set the periscope bearing on 0 degrees and enter 90 degrees port or starbord as AOB.
The one thing you have to know is the targets speed or you can wing it.
If you are using map contacts then that is quick an easy to do.
Range is not required at these distances although a range needs to be entered in to the TDC.
The torpedoes speed selected will determine how far off the periscopes 0 degrees bearing the firing bearing will be.
You do not need to identify the target.
The torps are setup speed and depth.
Lock the target.
Move the periscope so both gyro angles are at 0 degrees.
When the target enters the cross hairs Fire and result unless a dud.
