Basic TDC/PK course

If you have a copy and I can fetch it I'll post it right here. PM me and let's make it happen. Werner's work deserves to be seen!

Default All links up now

All links are now active in my previous post. Werner's movies deserve to be up 100% of the time so everyone can benefit from the most amazing mod in SH4: WernerSobe's brain mod! So sign up now for the WernerSobe Advanced School of Attack Tactics: WASSAT. Until he restores his own links, the courses are here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...0&postcount=82

im sorry for trouble, filefront keeps deleting the tutorials because of their big size every few weeks.

therefore im looking for alternative more reliable hosts. Please inform me with a PM if you know something.

Great work on the tutorials. I learned a lot!
Are you planing any more?

For example I would like to see 1 about some higher level tactics, like finding and attacking a convoy. Right from where you spot them till you sink some of them.
That would be realy helpful.

Werner, could you release the mission you used for the "Sonar Only" tutorial? I'd love to play your video on my laptop while following along with the mission on my gaming PC. The more I watch your videos the more I'm convinced to change over to manual TDC, especially the Sonar Only method.

Well, I overcame my trepidation at using the mission editor and created a small mission to sort of recreate the conditions of your tutorial. I used manual TDC but left on the map update indicator so I could get an idea of how close my settings were to the sonar contact line. I'm not sure yet how you calculate the AoB based on all that stuff you drew on the map, but I will watch your video again until I get it. That and your speed calculation of distance divided by 15 x(60) . . . or something like that.

Anyway, I hit a large merchant with four out of four fish. So I've made up my mind to continue until I've learned all of manual TDC so that my next career will be closer to 100% realism . . . I will keep the external cameras (and maybe map updates until I perfect it like you). Thanks for some great videos.

I would really appreciate a better link to the tutorials, downloading from filefront getting 9kbps

I watched the tutorials a while ago and need a refresher asap.
Great work BTW.

Default Trouble viewing

I came across this thread a few days ago and watched a bit of the first tutorial before having to stop for dinner. But now everytime I click on the link in the original post, I am taken to the filefront homepage, not the video. I tried searching for the video multiple ways but still can't find it. I wish I had downloaded and saved it rather than simply opening and viewing.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Update: D'oh! I found 'em in the above links.

Are there any tutorials for real noobs like me? I'm watching the tutorials and seeings things that aren't on my screen.

Jmatt, what's on your screen that you don't see in the tutorial, and which tutorial are you looking at. We'll get you going!

Question, how do you come up with the math that when your pings show contact at 4,150 yrds (guessing?) that it is 2.? miles away. In other words how do you convert the range in yards from pinging into miles away, do you use a calculator or something. Thank you for the tutorials the y are great.

Count me as another sailor that learned more from these videos than from the in-game submarine school. I now look at the in-game sub school as a place to practice what I am learing from resources such as this. Thank you very much!

1 mile = 1760 yards

http://www.metric-conversions.org/cg...&from=14&to=11


BUT, you'll want Nautical miles, so that would be 1.4 NM = 2025 yards

Therefore, your 4,150 would be approximately 2.05NM

The Werner video tutorials are great! I've been practicing and getting a bit better, but haven't gotten it down pat yet....not even close.

For example, I just I did something wrong, obviously, which seems to have resulted in Very Bad calculation for one torpedo!

I fired and the torp immediately went into a very tight circle which I somehow knew immediately was not good!

It came around with this result:








Anyone have an idea what I might have done wrong?
