Hi all,
Just a quick question.

I am wondering where the TDC/torp control screen it in SH4. In SH3 I used to use the TDC screen to see where my torps were going to go and if I had set-up my firing solution properly before firing.

After they had gone I would use it to see where they went and how much I missed by (or how spot on the targeting solution was).

I can't seem to find this screen anymore. If it has gone then that's a shame I used to use it alot.

Has it been dispensed with so that there is now no way to see the path of the torpedos plotted on a map?

I miss the TDC screen too. In order to see your torpedo track, turn on Map Updates option. Of course, there goes your 100% realism.

I think you could see them, but in Career mode once I got past Midway, they no longer showed up in full 100% realism. Plus my Radar is no longer working?? WTF

Thanks for that. Another question.
You know in SH3 where you could click on the exact speed and set speed at say 9 knots. Can you do this in SH4 or do you have to stick with the pre-sets, ahead slow, standard, and full ahead etc

Actually, the TDC screen DOES exist in SH4, it just has not instant keypress.

You find it by clicking the map-icon on the toolbar, and the second button from the left is the "Battle Map" or TDC screen.

Also, to set specific speed, depth or rudder angle, press the button just below the gauge. It's a gray "ribbed" thingy, looks like rubber. That will change the gauge.
