Hello ! love the tutorial ! However.

I have a problem with the sextant in the game. When I try to measure altitude it does not work the way a sextant should work. Ie, I cannot reach the sun's border. The sextant does not move that high or the sun seems to near.

Difficult to explain really.

Any info on that ?

Ashikaga.

Thanks for these, I was going nuts trying to track them down.. but I noticed that both these links are slightly broken.. some poking around found that the correct links are:

HELLO!

I often use the 4 bearing method static version.

I have try to understand the moving version but I'm having some trouble.

Does anyone have a tuto video ingame?
It's often more easy to learn one method when someone do it ingame

The only one I'm aware of is makman94's series of 3 videos, titled "The Art of Hydrophone Hunting". You can see them here:

Thank you!!

I just have one question: on SH5, you can follow a target with a hydro when you are immersed, moving with the batteries?
Seems to me we have a lot of noise in the compartment

I'm not a SH5 player (SH3 is my preference) but it seems to me that's why the sonarman has headphones on..

If the noise bothers you, maybe there are mods that can turn down the noise levels, like there are for SH3.

Other than that, I wouldn't worry too much about it.. moving at speed degrades the signal more than the crew being their usual boisterous selves. Just slow down when you want to take a bearing, if you find it's having an adverse effect.

Ok.. I also have another video for you.. makman94's original video. The series I linked to you earlier is an improved do-over of the original, but you may want to watch it anyway.

It's titled "The Ultimate Hydrohunt Video", and can be found at Plissken_04's massive collection, here:
ftp://Maik:Woelfe@hartmuthaas.no-ip....ideo%20%21.rar

Alternatively, it can be found at YouTube, where OrthokentroN has broken it up into 5 sections and posted it on his channel here:

Also, I highly recommend jerm138's PDF titled "Sonar_Tracking", which is the best and clearest explanation of the principles behind both the stationary and moving 4 bearing methods that I've ever seen. The illustrations are clear and simple, as are the explanations.

It can be found here:

The thread where he released the document is also well worth a read:
