Manual TDC video with das boot soundtrack

bratwurstdimsum · 03-27-12, 11:12 AM

This started out as a training program for me to learn manual TDC. It was recorded using FRAPS and I was going to speak in it but after hearing all the lousy voice-overs in other tutorials I just decided to put a few captions and let Wolfgang Petersen's soundtrack work its magic!

Conditions:

Submerged day attack,
2 Merchants with 1 DD escort.
Weather medium seas and clouds
2 AOB readings 30 secs apart.
4 torpedoes fired. 4 hits on the bow of a T3 Tanker.

Hope you enjoy it.

Cheers

Jeff

skipper, you're supposed to lower periscope between readings. You left it up long enough, and the birds will start flocking and the DD will eventually have you painted by birds without the need for ASDIC.

Apart from that, the attack is flawless. Good job.
