Kriegsmarine Angriffscheibe Handbuch

klh · 12-12-07, 08:51 PM

I have been enjoying the use of the German Attack Disc (a.k.a. whiz wheel, Is-Was) which I made from Hitman's instructions. In the process of learning how to use it, I collected several tips from this forum and other on-line sources, and began to write my own guide. It's not very original, nor anything that you can't find elsewhere, but I found it helpful to have it all collected in one document. Before I knew it, I had a small booklet that I decided worth sharing with the community.

Update 19 March 2008 - Version 3 is now available.

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=3405

This version is a major rewrite and includes more examples (18), is formatted to be printed into a booklet, and incorporates some corrections and additional reference information. It's now up to 25 MB.

It can be used with the printable attack disc...

or the Flash version...

I have to print out these disks one of these days. They seem to take care of everything.

Very informative tutorial.

Hmmm. :hmm: This is the first thing I've ever put on FileFront so I could have messed it up, but the link works for me. When is it failing?

Send me a PM with your email, and I can email it to you. It's 3.2 MB.

joegrundman · 12-13-07, 08:56 PM

actually i now think the problem is at my end. PM on it's way

I have posted an expanded and improved version of the Angriffscheibe Handbuch. Find the link at the top of the thread, or on my filefront page.

This version includes more examples, is formatted to be printed into a booklet, and incorporates some corrections (special thanks to Joe and Eric).

Please leave any feedback you have, especially if you find any errors.

Downloading, thanks for your work.

I've just read twice the 1st version, so should be quite easy to see the difference at once.

Version 3 must have animated pictures!

OK, I just quickly took a look at it, looks good! Can't wait to actually try it out, especially the lead angle/zero gyro method. That will come in handy if we ever get a WWI Silent Hunter (Don't know about Shells of Fury).

joegrundman · 01-20-08, 10:23 AM

You can do it in SH3 if you turn off the TDC and set the speed to 0, then the gyro angle can be controlled directly by rotating the bearing to target dial in the TDC.

Oh, I know. There was a thread seems like several decafortnights ago about how to do that.

I haven't done it lately, but I did do it back when I first started manual targeting.
