[REL]High Realism Tutorial revised March, 2009

High Realism Tutorial
Revised March 2009

I have had this tutorial for a period of time which accompanied my Angle on Bow Calculator. I believe there has been a large amount of interest in the previous tutorial largely because of the gamers desire to try different techniques that more closely simulate the actual process of data gathering for target attacks. For many, the realization that a small green triangle determines when you push the fire button became too "game like". This simulation offers so much more than just a point and shoot.

This tutorial explains how to play SH4 with high realism settings enabled. It explains how to manually find range, plot a target position and heading on the navigation map, defines the Position Keeper, how to make accurate speed estimates, and helps in Angle on Bow determinations.

My AoB Calculator is also explained. The tutorial will show you how to use the Calculator to successfully complete the above tasks when "manual targeting" and "no map contact update" are enabled within the Options Menu.

There is also a Speed Conversion Chart and a helpful Worksheet to assist in game play and map plotting figures.

With the release of the SH4 U-Boat Missions Addon the German side of play is difficult to plot a targets position or course heading on the navigation map. One reason is the fact the German side does not have a Position Keeper device which readily provides a targets "true" bearing to north. This bearing is important for map plotting a targets position and heading. The AoB Calculator can find "true" bearing to north and with this tutorial an understanding and application of the method is learned.

For the American side accurate determinations of target ship course heading, AoB, ship Speed can be inputted into the TDC for the eventual attack. Although the American side of play has the Position Keeper which provides some of the necessary bearings for map plotting, the AoB Calculator is designed to find all bearings and ship course headings.

The tutorial has images to aid in its comprehension. I have put it into a PDF for ease of viewing or printing. I have also made a separate download of the actual target ship encounter mission the tutorial uses if you would like a bit of hands-on practice. The High Realism Tutorial can be downloaded here:

Hi I have made a AoB Calculator using CapnScury's model as I found the printout model from the Tutorial did not print out well due to resolution.
I went about making one from scratch using Autocad and Photoshop that could be used exactly as CapnScurys Calculator with his Tutorials (These are excellent and worth having - Thank you CapnScurvy).
All Layers are glued to 8mm Perspex so should last indefinetly.

I can host the files with CapnScurvys permission of course for anyone to download.

You should make some of these and sell them. I'd be happy to paypal for one in advance. It's beautiful and I am to lazy/busy to do my own.

This great. Will you release it?

Fish40 · 06-23-09, 05:56 PM

That dose look cool! I downloaded and assembled Cpt. Scurvey's model, and use it quite a bit. Works like a charm!

Real nice tutorial Capt. I does help others who are interested in removing the ship updates on the map.

reaper7 · 06-24-09, 05:04 AM

Thanks guys for replys. Just waiting on ok from CapnScurvy. As I just reworked his AoB Calculator I would like his Ok first before posting files.

I have decided to release the files for download in the hope CapnScurvy approves if not i will pull-down.
It may be something to look at in producing these and maybe other sliderule tools for sale via paypal giving enough interest.
