Rockin', you might also try looking for a hard copy of the book if you want it.
The U Boat Commanders Handbook (Paperback)

It was $8.95 3 years ago when I bought mine, but seems to be out of print at the moment. You might find a copy at the usual spots, though.

Default Must be good

Best price on half.com right now is $51.38. I'll just have to stalk it like a tanker. Down scope.

I bought mine years ago at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. They don't have it on their website, but the store may still have them. You could try giving them a call. It's a book that any proper Kaleun shouldn't be without.

after you have it all set up and are looking through the scope and moving it around there is a box with the gyro angle that changes as you rotate. 0 is when the torp will shoot straight.

and changing the distance does effect location...if you are ever looking at a stationary target with the torp path over it play with the distance and it moves the torp track

Default Fast 90

Help me out here, if doing the fast 90 and I manually put in a speed, zero bearing off of the nose of my boat, moves left or right depending on which angle the target ship is approaching. Compensating for the speed entered. Is this right?
