TDC instructional video
Well, I narrated this one, it's a night mission and won't show up on YouTube, so I'll offer it as a download. It will be clear enough if you open it in a Windows Media player on your computer. Edit: Mighty Gizzmoe has made it easier to see and loaded in on FileFront.
Manual TDC Instructional Video Video by Gizzmoe, increased brightness: (26MB, requires DivX or XviD codec) I came across the Yamoto battleship at night. You can see I set up an attack manually but the BB detected me and opened fire, also changed course. I explain as I adjusted my approach and firing solution on the fly. enjoy, Neal Last edited by Onkel Neal; 03-24-07 at 10:56 AM. Reason: Updated link to second video |

Thanks a bunch Neal, the amount of TDC instructions are shaping up nicely.
Edit: one thing though, you stated "I'll increase the speed so I can get a good look of the show" but you turned your sub 180 degrees, so you were moving away from the Yamato. Last edited by ComradeP; 03-24-07 at 04:13 AM. |

Thanks, that was perfect.
One question I have is, you did not seem to go for the under keel shots that would have made the kill less expensive in torps. Was this to just make it tutoria easier or are there other conciderations to using this shot? So far I have found that using the impact shot into the side of a ship more effective than the under keel but I assumed that was my lack of skill..... -POD |

Thank you very much! I have manual targeting turned on... but I fail to hit any moving target, so I just raid ports.

Thanks for the great video, Neal, but I found it way too dark (well, it was night after all...). I´ve increased the brightness, now it´s possible to actually see something through the periscope, here´s the video:

Good and very informative video.
But, ouch your system is struggling a bit. Your FPS are not that great are they? Best Regards Anders |

one question remains.... by what method are you determining the target speed.
SH4 manual says that when you click the cronometer symbol it will start the count, when you are done click it again and the count will end revealing the speed of the target, but it doesnt seem to do this at all. I can guess the target speed but i am almost always wrong to the point that my torpedo misses the target by mere feet either astern or ahead of the target |

Thats more of a guessing. The Chronometer Auto Speed solver is not in the game yet, but I believe the problem has been noted by UbiSoft.
So what Neal did here was a great job! Guessed half the speed (I am assuming the Yamato battleships are historically correct when it goes for speed in this game, the out of date turbine engines on those huge things used alot of fuel, so mostly they had only half speed to save fuel.) Fired a good spread to make sure to get some hits, 5 out of 6 hit the target! S! to all Your friend in the Pacific RH |

I haven't posted to this forum since the launch of SH3.
I was so impressed with this video that I felt I had to say, amazing job. I was a bit confused by the new TDC, especially with the current bugs for calculating the speed through the stopwatch. This has renewed my faith in being able to play the game in a somewhat competent manner. Not only that, but it pretty much put to rest any questions I had about the new TDC. They should really include this tutorial in the next patch. |
