Long time away

[ktrboston]

It has been awhile since I played SH4 but since I have no more classes because dam school schedualing. Anyways I back into the deep only this time I am trying Manual targeting. Not doing so good wasted about three fish. I followed the dam estimated speed but did I notice that I knocked out his engines NOOOOO! once I realized my mistake set the right speed of Zero and put one right down the tube and sent him to the vast deep. ****! I hope COMSUB doesn't take out of my pay :cry:

in adjusted 1941 dollars thats approximately $10,000/torp
adjusted for inflation deflation and the global conspiricy of
the Illuminati. today it would cost approx. im not real certain
but at a guess $280,000 a copy for a MKXIV
(Includes complimentary invoice in duplicate at least)

Use sparingly:up:

Welcome back to the SH4 experience :yep:, check out some of the stickies regarding Manual Targetting, they should assist you some. Also do a search on the topic and you probably will come across some useful information in older threads.

Ha ha thats good. Thanks for the tips reallydedpoet. I think the hardest part for me is getting the ship ID correct before they spot me. I usually lock scope and pause. Is that considered cheating to get the correct ID? Usually takes me a few......

I really cant say it's cheating. (flame shields to max) but a captain would have a whole tracking party to help set up the approch and classification of a ship on his discription

You don't have to identify your target at all...

Well I guess that means I don't have to say anything!:up:

Thanks for the class link. I will give it a read and will try to apply it.

I respectfully disagree (no flames, no shields). You ended with the phrase "on his description", and that's the key: the captain is the one looking at the target, and he is the one who has to make the ID. He can't pause the game, so I think it is cheating.

But that's an opinion, nothing more.

No.

Welcome to the navy.:rotfl:

Which reminds me of a funny story illustrating the difference:
After receiving my orders overseas, I had a couple of last days at San Diego NTC (good old Nimitz Island). My last day was spent 'policing' the area, i.e. walking around picking up cigarette butts and trash. Of course we were up at 0600 for breakfast and work. Then we boarded a plane for Travis AFB, outside San Francisco.

After getting assigned to a barracks there, we had dinner, saw a movie and hit the rack (went to bed, for all you non-martial types). Rather than an 0600 wake-up, breakfast and work, we slept in until about 0900, at which point some airman walks in and asks "You guys want a tour of the base?"

Right then I decided I had joined the wrong branch.

Good story, :rotfl: I went to school on a Navy base. Old Corry station in Pensacola, Fl , it was very close to Pensacola NAS back then we called it Corry High because of the antics that went on their but I remember the first time I got their. I met this older gentleman who called out "Excuse me, Shipmate". I was dumbfounded because I didn't know who he was talking to but it was me. I had a feeling that he new I wasn't in the Navy. Corry Station was fun especially around Captain's cup. In which the Marines and Navy squads kept going back and forth do stupid stuff. Like I remember one time some Navy guys kidnapped the Marines Mascot. It was fun there. I was there for about a year and half.
