Default Best way to get TMA practice?

I'm in the military and new to TMA and I really suck at it. I mean, I get the math, but I'm pretty bad/slow about it when it comes to using it in practice and having a good macro-understanding of what's actually happening out in the ocean.

What's the best way I can get better/get some practice at home? Dangerous Waters? Thanks for the help!

Your question is confusing.
Are you trying to apply TMA to a game or to OJT?

The only thing I can tell you is to relax. TMA is a tough concept to learn. It also requires experience (time and repetition). The light bulb will turn on at some point, just don't try to force it to happen.

Sub Command´s or Dangerous Water´s "The Perisher" Submarine Command Course campaign was a great way for me to get better at TMA.

In my opinion TMA in Sub Command works bad - because its too perfect

In SC TA don't drift when you change course (TA antenna follow directly your sub patch and sub change rudder angle immediately). DW have better model of physics and knowlegde gained in SC could be useless in some situations.

In missions like "Perisher" most ships doesn't change course too often (only once per hour or less)

Some time ago i've made scenario for TMA training, where target changes course about randomly value (10 to 20 degree) every 15 minutes. Overal course is like a bow.

This scenario shows something more than you can read in RED BOOK
But Red Book is still very good guide - you should read it first before learning TMA in practice.


TMA training on Los Angeles:


(scenario download in description)


The same scenario and TMA training on Kilo
