[stoianm]

i use an software called fraps... is not free... but i remember that someone posted some free software also... i think is better to ask Otto.. he sendet me an PM with some links but i delete it... my PM box is full:)
check the thread ,,how to make an movie'' - i wish to help you more but that one was my first movie... i hve not so manny ideeas:)

[stoianm]

Hi,

I just made a new tutorial... see post #1 for details

stoianm Hydro hunt video tutorial for SH5


1)How to use hydro with real navigation and realism 100%
2)How to find an ship course, speed, AOB etc only using hydro without having visual contact with the ship
3)How to hunt only with hydro in heavy fog days when is very dificult to have visual contact with hunted ship
4)How to sunk an ship even you are at 19 meters submerged (no visual with hunted ship) and using only the hydro and manual TDC in the Real navigation mode and ''NO MAP CONTACT'' - this methode can be used for fogy days also

To play in this manner you need to have installed this 3 mods:

1)NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith
2)NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_Real_Navigation
3)SH5.exe patch (hydro) v0.0.1 and v0.0.2

[Durak=MNE=]

Great stuff man,i like it.This kind of tutorial first time i have seen in an DCS-digital combat simulator.It shud be standard for all games in the future.

[pascal4541]

You're really good job Stoianm :up:

[Dignan]

Just watched the hydro-hunting tutorials. Very well done. :up:

I don't use 100% real navigation and I leave on hydrophone contact lines but this is still very useful for me. Thanks.

One question...this mod that you reference "3)SH5.exe patch (hydro) v0.0.1 and v0.0.2", is this just the official game patch or the hydro fix that TDW came up with?

Ok thanks. I guess I need to d/l a hex editor.

Another question I have... How is the sonarman getting a range when you ask him to "estimate range to target"? Wasn't that impossible in real life? I know they can guess if its long range, medium range or close range but to get an accurate range reading wouldn't you need active (pinging) sonar?

Just trying to understand all the forces at work here. Thanks.

the fix that tdw made read from an cfg file the speed that the sonar guy report for you.. in sh5 the ping sonar it is not working... i know in real life they used the ping for estimate the distance and they used the rev engine chart to estimate the speed by hidro but this is not working also in sh5... so about me the sh5.exe patch is an compromise to simulate the sonar ping for range... the diference is that now the navigator estimation for range is to precise ... you can use or not.. it is up to you... i use this when i hunt in heavy fog days

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably still use it. Just wanted to understand.

By the way...you wouldn't happen to be Romanian would you? The accent in your videos sounds familiar to me. (I'm not Romanian but spent some time there years ago.)

yes... i was born and i grew up in Romania.

[Dignan]

Cool. I thought that was a Romanian accent. I really enjoyed my trip there. went in 2004. Botosani, Sibiu, Bucharest, Sulina, Brashov. Saw all the Dracula stuff. Very interesting.

yep ... Romania is a nice country ... so you excaped from vampires?... most of people that visit Dracula place did not excape alive... or maybe you are also an vampire now as me?:haha:... btw from where are you?

Yeah, I got to visit Vlad Dracul's castle. Very cool.

I'm from the U.S.

[RickC Sniper]

Nice video. Thank you for posting it.

One Question:

While using the realistic fuel setting why did you navigate to your Patrol Zone at maximum speed? It is a very inefficient speed for fuel consumption.

Perhaps because the PZ was fairly close to your base?

HOLY! :hmmm:

I have 8 mods and was thinking of dropping one. :ping:

I'll have to sort through your list. I DO like the look of your crew and interior.

Thank you.

[Zedi]

4 bearing method is still the only realistic method to use for those concerned about the realistic play. Pinging a convoy is like and open invitation to be killed. But the 4BM require time and patience.

Usually, when Im tracking a convoy I do it on a more personal way. Im just listening very careful and try to determine if the contact is closing or not and what type of sound is it.. a convoy, a single target, warships etc. Then I mark the bearing, surface and race in that direction. Every 15 minute I dive, stop engines and listen again and so on until I make a visual contact with the target. After that, things are a bit more easy.. its time to determine a precise bearing, speed and also plan an attack depending on the convoy size, escorts, weather etc.

[stoianm]

i like to play realistic also and i am an patient person... but after this sh5.exe patch i have not the patience to use the 4 bearing again... i use this method from tutorial only to hunt in heavy fog day and to find an cource of an hydro spoted contact...

[Dignan]

Another way to hunt targets in poor weather like fog is to use the "Dick O'Kane" constant bearing method. It is similar to your tutorial but you don't need to know an exact range. Just an accurate speed, bearing and an accurate course. If you have these pieces of data, you set your sub up to be at a 90 degrees angle to the target's course and shoot when it crosses a fixed bearing. Usually 10 degrees to the right or left of your heading (depending on which direction its coming from). You set the TDC up much like stoianm shows here.

THere are many tutorials on this in the SH4 forums if anyone is interested. VEry effective for long range shots (with a visual on target) and very effective for sonar attacks but you should be closer to compensate for sonar inaccuracies.

if you play at 100% realism you can find an precise spead or cource only with for bearing methode (i think)... this methode ''Dick O'Kane'' can be used at 100% realism? If yes can you post an link pls?

You are correct. You are still limited with finding an accurate range but if you can find speed and course with 4bearings or by visual contact you can then submerge and use only sonar to carry out the attack using a constant bearing technique.

Here are some links. They are for SH4 but the principles are the same and work for SH5. Just make sure you don't have the periscope linked to the TDC or it will throw off your TDC data inputs.

Dick O'Kane Targeting video download (http://www.gamefront.com/files/Dick+OKane+targeting+video7z/;10643361;/fileinfo.html)

Dick O'Kane Sonar only video download (http://www.gamefront.com/files/Dick+OKane+Sonar+Only00197z/;10324567;/fileinfo.html) (the difference here is that he uses pinging to find range I believe. So again we are limited by the uboat's available technology)

DIck O'Kane written tutorial (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=652326&postcount=67)

The bottom-line is that if you can get speed and course by some other method while submerged (like 4 bearing method) you don't need an accurate range to carry out a Dick O'Kane attack. The 90 degree setup of your sub to the targets course cancels out the need for an accurate range.

[Drewcifer]

Stoianm The Dick O'kane method is the "Fast 90" which I'm fairly sure your familar with.

And you don't need the four bearing. Just Speed and course. AOB sorts itself obviously if you know the course. You line up for a 90 degree shot, fire on your zero bearing and direct hit.

Yes my friend... tnx... the 4 bearing is the only methode that i know to calculate speed, course, aob etc from an ship using the hydro (without using the sonar ping):up:

Hi,

I just made a new video tutorial:

stoianm Convoy hunt using Real navigation and Realism 100% for SH5

1)How to use attack periscope to find course, AOB, range etc from a convoy with real navigation and realism 100%
2)How to choose the best position before making the final attack on a convoy using Real navigation
3)How to add all the data in the TDC and how and when to fire your torpedoes using the fast 90 degrees methode
4)How to hit ships in the same column of an convoy in the same time


To play in this manner you need to have installed this 3 mods:

EDIT: I just figured out why my 4th torpedo did not hit the target... i made an mistake when i wanted to put my heading at 90 degrees (my calculation was for around 45 degree heading but i used 41 by misteake... so i was not at 90 degree exactly on the covoy course)

Thx Stoi, you should got the tag "Most Helpfull" on your sig :salute:.

[Zedi]

Next level would be to quit using lock on target and pause game :)
Pls don't take it as criticism rather than an improvement. The most xp and pro guys in SH3 are using this and they don't really believe that is possible in SH5.

Make a 90 attack on a convoy without using any cheat like pause and lock on target and show them that you can be pro in SH5. And no mouse clicks, only voice command nor keyboard shortcuts. Play with your UI hidden.

thanks... i play my game using voice commands but i can not make an movie because i will have troubles if i will use the microfone in the same time... i do not pause my game when i play... i do this only in tutorials because it take my time to explain to people what i do... but you have an good ideea.... i will make an movie without explanation... only using voice commands... and no pauses and things like this... but i do not understand what you mean by not locking the target... if i do not lock the target i can not put data in manual tdc and i can not take range by stady... can you explain me what you mean by this please... and my next tutorial will be how to play like an pro sh5:D

Very nice work my friend :yep::up::up:

[Dignan]

Great tutorial videos stoianm. REally helpful.

I put a question about manual targeting in the SH5 TDC Tutorial thread but I don't think anyone has seen it. Here it is. Hoping someone can answer my question. I watched your tutorial on manual targeting but I still have trouble with AOB.

I'm used to SH4 which means I am used to the position keeper. Enter Uboat...no position keeper obviously. So what is the correct order of entering data into the TDC? I ask because every time I put my scope down ( to avoid detection) and raise it again to take a new bearing/range measurement, my AOB resets itself.

I've been doing this

1. Get target's speed through visual observations (using the 3min 15sec rule...mark target's position, wait 3 minutes and 15 seconds, mark target's position again, the distance traveled in meters corresponds to speed.)

2. Take bearing/range readings using stadimeter - enter them

3. Enter AOB (measure using navmap protractor tool).

4. Take one last range reading before firing (Note: I usually have to reset the AOB at this point because the last range/bearing reading seems to reset my AOB dial.

Am I doing something wrong?

Also, is the 3 minute, 15 second rule for taking speed measurements correct? In SH4 it was an even 3 minutes but when using meters as opposed to yards I believe it is 3:15.

No you are not doing nothing wrong... it is like an bug... after you use stadymeter the AOB is reset and is going back at the last locked value... i spoked about that with TDW and he will fix this soon:up:
About the 3.15 methode the Bilge Rat teached me this:

''1) identify target and determine mast height;
2) measure mast height in number of Horizontal Bars on the scope;

you can then measure the range based on a formula, for example with Arclight's MRP, the formula is:

1.5x - MastHeight x 100 / horizontal bars = Range

6x - MastHeight x 400 / horizontal bars = Range

for example, a Liberty Ship has a mast height of 27.1 meters, if the measured height is 4 bars at 6x, the range would be 2,710 meters.

i.e. 27.1 x 400= 10,840 divided by 4= 2,710 meters.''

Honestly i never tryied the 3.15 methode

Thanks. I'll try this new range method. As far as the 3 minute, 15 second rule, I've tried it in SH5 and it seems to work. If you can mark a targets position...wait 3min, 15sec...mark target's position again and then measure the distance between the two points. The first two number of the distance between the two points is your speed. For example, if the distance is 3,500 meters then your speed is 3.5knots. If the distance is 10,000 meters then the speed is 10knots.

Hi,

i made another video tutorial:

stoianm How to locate the map position reported by BDU in the lat and long in SH5

1)How to use an radio mesage from BDU (ex: enemy ship reported in yourr area - Long 18.50 W and Lat 52.25 N, cource E-W - search the area) to calculate the ship position and to put on the map
2)How to decide if you must to go to that area trying to intercept the ship or not

Hi,

i just made a new video tutorial and a new mod if you want to play like in this tutorial

stoianm How to use RAOFB with Real navigation and Manual TDC in SH5

1)How to use RAOFB to find course, AOB, range etc from a ship or convoy with real navigation and realism 100%
2)How to choose the best position before making the final attack on a ship or convoy using Real navigation
3)How to add all the data in the TDC and how and when to fire your torpedoes
4)How to use AOB slide ruller to find AOB
5)How to use Navigator abilities to calculate the speed of a ship
5)This methode is the most fast and acurate methode that i tested so far in SH5 using Real nav, Manual TDC and Realism 100%
6)The time that we need to find all the data (range, course, AOB, and speed) for a ship or a convoy it takes less than 2 minutes
6)In this methode we will do less ploting on the map and we will use more visuals methodes


To play in this manner you need to have installed this mods:

1)NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith or Magnum Opus

2)NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_Real_Navigation

3)AOB slide ruller for TDW UIs and MO by stoianm ===>> DOWNLOAD (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3106)

AOB=(Aro/Arr)*100===>> read value in AOB slide ruller

Arr = horizontal marks/vertical marks (use RAOFB to obtain the marks - i recomand Manos scopes from TDW UIs)

Aro = Ship Lenght/Ship mast (use the SOAN to find these values)

If the ship is heading to your direction than AOB = value from AOB slide ruller
If the ship is heading away to your direction than AOB = value from AOB slide ruller + 90 degrees

Thxs for the PRO-with-RealNav-Vid. The voice-commanding is beautiful. The torpedo-hit animation was less pretty to look at. But the look of the burning and broken ship on the horizon was IMO quite realistic.

No you are not doing nothing wrong... it is like an bug... after you use stadymeter the AOB is reset and is going back at the last locked value... i spoked about that with TDW and he will fix this soon:up:


Stoianm, i'm still having problems with the AOB reseting when using the stadimeter. I know you said its a bug but I looked at some of the documentaiton in the NewUI mod and there is mention of a AOBFix that can be enabled to make sure the AOB doesn't reset every time you enter a new range with stadimeter. How do I enable this?

I also read through some posts from TDW in the NewUI forum where he talks about using the dials and entering the range and aob with the red button instead of using the stock XO box to enter data. If I use the AOB dial added by TDWs mod will that fix this problem?

It's too hard to reset the AOB after EVERY range entry so I'm pretty much only using the 90 degree fast attack (aka Dick O'Kane constant bearing) methods until I find a good way to fix this. These methods are good but not every tactical situation is suited to them.

I suppose I should post this in TDW's UI forum also but you are always so full of knowledge and experience about SH5 manual targeting.

TDW know the problem already ... not need to post on the UI thread ... and he will look at this problem but at the moment he has another ,,bigger fish to frie'' probably:DL... and i am doing like you ... because of that i am using the fast 90 most of the time... but you can use this trick to corect the problem:
1) take range
2) take AOB
3) mark the bearing corespondent for the AOB:
for example bearing 360 corespondent for AOB 80 degree and the ship is heading to your direction
4) take range again... here your AOB is reset... you can corect the AOB by reading the new bearing.. for example:
new bearing is 355 degree
dieference for bearing is 360-355= 5 degree ===>> the AOB then is 80+5=85 degrees... so you do not need to calculate again the AOB ... just to do an fast math:up:

So basically you are "predicting" what a future AOB will be at a certain bearing and when the target passes that bearing you reset the AOB? Makes sense. I'll try that next time.

On a side note...I don't think depth soundings are very accurate. I did a test dive the other day in 100m of water (according to depth sounding). I set dive for 80m. At about 75m I hear a loud crunch....my sub hit the bottom. I think the depth readings are actually about 25m more than they really are. Anyone else confirm this?

This AOB will only work if your are at 90deg to target heading.
At 85deg the error may be small and torps will still hit if you are close enough.
The further away from 90deg to the target heading you are, the more error will be in this method.

i was not very clear in my explanation sorry... i was not speaking about an fast 90 degree attack.. just an regular one... to understand what i am mean see this movie tutorial:

16) How to play like a PRO Silent Hunter 5 ==> Link (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1629513&postcount=31)

what i mean.. if my bearing at an moment is 355 and the AOB in that moment is 56 (and the ship is headind in my direction) than the AOB is increase with same degree numbers that the bearing increase:

if bearing change at 358 than the AOB will be 59 and so on

you know trevally maybe you are right that the AOB is related at bearing only in an 90 degree position... i will test this soon in game and i come back with a clarification for this problem

EDIT: yes you had right... AOB is related to bearing only at an 90 degree angle... so the value for AOB formula can be aplied only if you make an 90 degree angle with the ship course

[Trevally.]

Yep. This is true. But that's why the constant bearing method of Dick O'Kane/Fast Attack is so useful. You can adjust the AOB at the last moment if necessary.

yes... and also because the range is not important if you choose to hit at 90 degree... and the torpedo damage is maxim.. because of the perpendicular angle... and because you can hit 3-4 ships in same time in the same column when you hunt an convoy.. if you are at 90 degree you have some place left for small erorrs also

No... for this one i forgot to change these settings... you saw i run at tc128 in travel mode (yours settings is max 32)... i forgot the travel mode by misteaken... i do not advice to use travel mode when search an patrol area... and when i play SH5 usually i use the sober settings.. wich are the best settings in my opinion if you want to play realistic

[blind0wl]

I have rewritten Trevally's script on the search patrol to run at a higher TC value...kind of get sick of pressing the TC button...I'm wondering if anyone knows if you can put a condition in that puts the TC back to 1 if a sound or visual contact is spotted. Or if running at a higher TC whilst issuing commands to the sub to dive etc has an adverse affect. I've noticed if I'm running any higher than TC16 the boat will not change course etc. I probably need to do a bit more testing....even if it dropped down to TC8 to perform the commands and then back up to 1024 once the sweep and surface commands have been set it would be better.

I guess my main question is if there is a way to goto TC1 if something is spotted. But not for every message on the status page :)

He He... he is not empty 100%.. i go to swim in winter because i like the olimpic piscine..
i like the voice recog mod very much... MiTon will release soon a new version where you will be able to send aob and speed to tdc and also he will add a lot of new commands... but even like now i use my mouse and my keybord just a bit and i use just a bit ploting.. i play most of the time only by visual when i do my finnal attack ... like in real life.. navigator can not see outside...time is short and you need to find solutions fast... only you can see by scope and you give orders for everybody.... make me feel like in the WWII time:DL... btw i like your mods... special the one with emblems and the one with flags... nice work:up:

[etheberge]

Thanks, I'm sure I'll do more mods when I start playing SH5 more. Now I'm still mostly playing SH4.

Which dials are you using at 01m25s of the video "How to use the MO or the TDW interface in SH5 part 6-6.mkv"? They look very nice.

Some good news... i know that you do nice mods... so maybe it is the time to return to sh5.. in the mean time... TDW and all the moders from here puted SH5 almoust in the water line:DL.. if you will watch some of my tutorials you will see that we need only maybe more ships, and a complex campaign mod ... zedi extended the last campaign untill 1954... but i understood that in olders SH series the campaigns were more immersive... and also few little things to be fixed... but even like now sh5 it is a playable game... here is the mod that you liked:

Thanks for the link.

Yes the campaigns and the extra ships are the only things holding me back right now. Unfortunately I don't know how to mod these things so I can only wait until someone else can do it.

Your videos helped me a lot to see that SH5 has reached the point where it can be played very well. Real Navigation too is interesting, I tried it a little yesterday because of your tutorial video, it adds a whole new level to the sim.

Thxs for the 4 bearing-vid. A good laugh was the "i must report to Doenitz"-comment in the last part ;)
WHat i learned here from this vid was the DBSM-mod by Stormfly is overrated ;) IMO, the effort (mess with the keyboard-layout etc etc) is not worth the benefit or is it?

In practise the "improved" 4 bearing method ;) is more important => http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=179137. THat method gives you the advantage of a free movement during the intercept-calculation.

about the new 4 bearing methode... i do not need to move in the time i use this method.. i am not so good at math:)... but i know that method also... i explained in the tutorial that it is up to you what methode you want to use... the static one or the one in movement

I really meant with environment = crew-sounds, interior-sounds.

[stoianm]

I really meant with environment = crew-sounds, interior-sounds.
i see... the stormys sound mod it is an complilations of sounds that use like base the das boot.. so maybe you use one of the stand allone sound mod that he use in his collection... for example after you hit a ship with a torpedo you hear the sound of the crew that celebrate and the XO that tell them to not make noise?

i am very soryy but this is very time consuming... and english is not my native language... i am not so good in writting... but i could help you if you want... just tell me what tutorial you will like to learn and i will make an short writted resume for that tutorial:up:

[SgtPotato]

I want to learn about intercepting the convoy with radio contact.

[sirbum69]

that would be a good one also....how to intercept...i know you just find the grid there in and try to sail it, but most times the grid is like half the sea away and dont think i would ever get there in time

[SgtPotato]

yea but the problem is that I'm not using 100% realism and the radio convoy report said that they went "course ESE", not something like "course 305."

Am I suppose to use the real navigational mod?

[stoianm]

I want to learn about intercepting the convoy with radio contact.
Ok:

1) it is very important to start your ploting to intercept the contact ASAP after you will receive the radio contact
2) after i received the contact - the navigator will report me the: convoy speed, convoy course, the convoy scope-bearing (related to our position) and also the range between us and the convoy
3) plot these information on the map and you will obtain the convoy position on the map
4) draw with the proractor an angle from UBOAT-CONVOY-CONVOY COURSE
5) keep in your mind this parameter 3.33
6) if the range between us and convoy it is for example 600 km... make like this: multiplication factor= MF

MF = (range/100)*3.33... in our case MF = 600/100*3.33 = 20

7) We supouse the speed of the convoy it is 10 knots

MARK 1 = convoy speed*MF = 10*20 = 200 km

put MARK 1 at 200 km starting from the convoy position and going 200 km on the convoy course

8) Choose a speed that you want to travel to intercept the convoy... let say we choose 15 knots

uboat speed*MF = 15*20 = 300 km

9) take the compas and draw a distance of 300 starting from MARK 1 ... the circle will intersect the line between uboat and convoy... MARK 2

10) Take the proractor and draw an angle from MARK 1 - MARK 2 - CONVOY

11) Let say that angle is 40 degrees

12) take the proractor and make the same 40 degres angle from CONVOY - UBOAT - AND GO to intersect the convoy cource line
14) MARK 3 where the proractor line intersect the course convoy line... this is the point where you will intercept the convoy if you will run at 15 knots

15) measure the distance from your UBOAT and the MARK 3 - lets say it is 180 km (i choosed all numbers random... do not try to match those numbers)... so if we run 15 knots for 180 km wee need around 6 hours and 30 minutes

16) lets say your time it is 12 am

17) order to your uboat to go in the MARK 3 direction and order a speed of 15 knots... mean that after 6hours and 30 min you will be in the same point with the convoy... so this will be at 6 and 30 minutes pm

18) order a speed more than 15 knots.. lets say 16 .. or 16.5 knots... in this way you will be 1 hour or more before the convoy will be in that point... prepare you for an fast 90 attack and wait for the convoy... you can search with the hydro in mean time... if the convoy will not change course in mean time he is like an mouse in a trap:up:

IO learned this methode from Kylania... here you have his explanation... with his explanation, my tutorial and this writting i thing everything is clear:

I'm not entirely happy with the intercept image, but since I made it at 5am I won't worry too much about it, but here's how I intercepted a convoy last night. This is with map contacts off, so no ghost to follow for me.

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/2127/firstreport.jpg

Here you see the first contact report, at 05:26 about a large convoy 614km away, moving towards me at 13kts. What you don't see is that at the time I started this plot it was already 05:45, so I should have taken that into account.

Next comes the big messy picture!

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/9128/interceptpoints.jpg

Step 1: I use the protractor to draw from my u-boat to the contact, then out along it's path of travel. When I did this, I made three mistakes. First was waiting so long to start it, second was not bringing the line out far enough and third was not getting the angle of travel perfect.

Step 2: I draw a line from the contact out along it's direction of travel according to it's speed. Since it's traveling at 13kts and was 600km+ away, I picked a multiplier of 20, meaning the line I drew was 260 (13 x 20) km long. If we were closer I might have picked a multiplier of .5 or 2 or something to plot a line 6.5 or 26km long, depending.

Step 3: I use the compass to draw a circle from the end point of the line I drew in step 2 which is equal to my speed (13.6) times the multiplier I used before, which would be a circle with a radius of 272 km.

Step 4: I find the point where the circle crosses the original bearing to the contact, the first protractor line I drew. I measure the angle from the end point of step 2 to the meeting point of bearing and circle then towards the contact. In this case you can kinda see it's 32 degrees.

Step 5: I now take that 32 degrees angle and measuring from the line towards the contact, to my u-boat, then towards the path of travel of the contact and draw out the 32 angle line till it crosses the travel line. This is where I made another mistake, since the original protractor I hadn't drawn out long enough, so I had to use a ruler to make it longer. That's the extra 170km line there.

Step 6: The point where the step 5 angle and the step 2 course lines meet is where I'll intercept. I'll place my waypoint at that point and head towards it at my current speed. It's Mark 1 in that image.

So now I'm chugging along towards the intercept point. I draw a 30km circle around the point to represent basically the hydrophone range around the spot where I should be able to hear the convoy.

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7811/earlyarrival.jpg

What's this!? At 17:28 I get a hydrophone contact from my sonarman saying he hears something coming from the general direction of where the convoy should be. But as you can see I'm still some 80km or so away from the intercept point!

In order to cheat a little I draw out a 50 degree angle from the front of my boat to the left (360 - 310 contact bearing = 50 degrees port) and send my external camera to see what's there. :oops::cool:;)

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/3103/thereitis.jpg

And there it is! The beautiful, battleship escorted giant convoy! Turns out it was only traveling at 9kts by the time I reached it (which is why I met it ahead and past it rather than right on) and also changed course a bit too I think. It's changes like that which can cause you to miss convoys a lot, especially at ranges of 600km+ like this one was.

So, took me 12 hours or so to intercept it, and I almost missed it, but I got close enough to be able to intercept and sink 4 ships from it!

that would be a good one also....how to intercept...i know you just find the grid there in and try to sail it, but most times the grid is like half the sea away and dont think i would ever get there in time
i already made this one:

[stoianm]

yea but the problem is that I'm not using 100% realism and the radio convoy report said that they went "course ESE", not something like "course 305."

Am I suppose to use the real navigational mod?

You do not need real nav to play like this...

1)unninstall the TDW UIs
2)to have course and range reported go in the option.py and search for these lines:

# Are the contact's actual speed shown or is a relative speed shown (slow=2-6 knots, medium=7-12 knots, fast=13+ knots)?
# change below to either True or False
ShowContactsActualSpeed = False

# Are the contact's actual course shown or is a relative course shown (E,ENE,SE,S, SW, etc.)?
# change below to either True or False
ShowContactsActualCourse = False

# for radio contact reports, at what range from the sub can the watchstanders see the contact well enough to update it's course (in kms)?
# below is in kilometers
RangeStartUpdatingContacts = 8


change to be like this:

# Are the contact's actual speed shown or is a relative speed shown (slow=2-6 knots, medium=7-12 knots, fast=13+ knots)?
# change below to either True or False
ShowContactsActualSpeed = True

# Are the contact's actual course shown or is a relative course shown (E,ENE,SE,S, SW, etc.)?
# change below to either True or False
ShowContactsActualCourse = True

# for radio contact reports, at what range from the sub can the watchstanders see the contact well enough to update it's course (in kms)?
# below is in kilometers
RangeStartUpdatingContacts = 800

3)save the file

4) enable the TDW UIs

The movie was made at Hollywood my friend... and it is a method.. called the circle method... some writters use this method in their novells... you start the story in a place...you do the middle part and you end the story in the same place where you started... you see... that was the ideea... to make movies is not so simple... and also to work with actors like sober (you can easy supouse by his name how is he) ... and my navigator sabotate my often... he has some english - scotish roots... but i am happy that you liked:DL

maybe.... when you want to use the attack disk?... to intercept a convoy?

[Andayle]

Hi stoianm,

I just want to say a massive thank you for your video tutorials. Whilst i'm not new to SH series as I still play SH3 with GWX. I rushed out a bought SH5 on its release thinking it would be the next big thing in the series and was like many very disappointed. So it got uninstalled about 6 months after release and has sat on my shelf since.

Then last night I was going through you tube for uboat video and stumbled on your tutorial video's. After watching a couple of the clips I have decided now is probably a good time to give SH5 another shot. Looks like the modding teams have once again tried there darn hardest to make SH5 a simulation, I love that new UI and how customizable it all is, and to top it off your videos are like icing on the cake hehe. In the world of computer gaming/simulation nothing says more than a good video clearly explaining how and why stuff should be done.

A big thank you from me. I'm going to spend my day off today setting up SH5 with a few mods and see what happens.

[jwilliams]

maybe.... when you want to use the attack disk?... to intercept a convoy?


This would be a video that I would need to watch too. As I've failed to grasp how to use this attack disk.

To be honest I haven't really tried it yet, had a quick look and gave up. :doh:

[sirbum69]

maybe.... when you want to use the attack disk?... to intercept a convoy?

just to know how to use it...not sure what it could be used for but least then i would know all the different things of the sub....and if it would help with plotting for intercept then ya...

[Dignan]

just to know how to use it...not sure what it could be used for but least then i would know all the different things of the sub....and if it would help with plotting for intercept then ya...

I think it's for calculating AOB because it's got a button in the middle that links it to the TDC.

[stoianm]

I think it's for calculating AOB because it's got a button in the middle that links it to the TDC.

With the the Attack disck you can:

1: Determine the fastest course to intercept a reported contact

2: Determine a course and speed to waylay a reported contact

3: Determine the true course of a target from bearing and angle on the bow

4: Determine the angle on the bow of a target from bearing and course

5: Determine the angle on the bow of a target from its aspect ratio

6: Determine the range of a target from its mast height

7: Determine the speed of a target by plotting its position over time

8: Determine the speed of a target from its length

9: Determine the speed of a target with constant relative bearing

10: Determine the speed of a target with a changing relative bearing

11: Determine the speed of a target with two bearing and range observations

12: Determine the time for a target to reach a future bearing

13: Determine a perpendicular attack course to a target

14: Determine the distance to the track of a target

15: Determine an optimum speed for attack position

16: Determine the lead angle for a perpendicular attack with 0° gyro angle

17: Determine the torpedo gyro angle

18: Determine the torpedo run time

Hi Stoianm,

Thanks to you I have gotten back into SH5 with the help of your videos and the Darkwraith UI and mega mod.

The only one thing I can't seem to figure out is in your videos when you use the map tools like the protractor and the ruler you have a nice big round bearing wheel surrounding the pointer, this makes it nice and easy to read bearings when using the ruler etc.

However on my map with the tool helper turned on I do get a round bearing wheel around my ruler point etc but it's a lot smaller than your video one and quite a bit harder to read.

Any ideas? or is there an option I missed somewhere?

Many Thanks.

This is much the same as the RAOBF speed finding method but built into the clock. This is a fantastic method. Aob does not matter as it will always take a ship the same time to move through its own length no matter what the angle.

This will be my new method of choice for finding speed:up:

Hi Stoainm


Your videos are truly amazing. I thank you very much. Today, I look at : How to use real navigation in sh5 (number 7). I stoped ofen because I wanted to recreate exactly what you're doing in your video in my own sh5 game.


Here is my problem :


When I hit my automation key, I get this :

These are my mods for now :

What am I doing wrong? I have nothing in my Categories like you have.


Can you help me please?

It is like you have not nothing installed in C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Automation ... can you enter in that path... you have some files there? try this:

1) unninstall trevally autoscripts v0.5 and delete
2) redownload the trevally autoscripts v0.5 and reinstall .... see if is working

if not maybe tdw or trevally will have an ideea why you not have those files there... but first try what i sugested to you

Peux tu me dire dans quel coin tu habite au Quebec ... est tu Québéquois de souche comme moi?:DL

[andredr]

Thank you Stoainm for responding so fast.


I did what you have suggested to me and I got the same result. This is what I have in my automation folder :

Thank you again!

Run the DbgView app (\data\Applications) before running the game. It should shed some light on what's going on/not going on.

[andredr]

Good morning TheDarkWraith


This is what I have when I start the program that you've had suggested to open :

You ran that before starting the game and it had no output? There is a big problem then :o

tres bien:up:

I love this because these are like the only SH5 videos on Youtube that actually use voice. You rock mate. :salute:

I just started watching your video on intercepting a convoy that BDU has sent a radio report about.

You went straight from message received and navigator giving you a bearing etc.....how did you get the navigator to provide a bearing to the radio contact? not to mention the other info he provided?

This is probably a noobish question but i don't know how you got the navigator to provide that contact information.

Plus, the radio reports I usually receive have only a vague speed and course for the contact, are there specific ones with better contact information?

[stoianm]

I have some settings in the tdw option.py - i am not home now... when i will be on my computer i will look at those settings and i will let you know

Stoianm, it would be nice if you make a tutorial on how to plot a course to move ahead of a convoy that you spot that is moving away from you, im having a hard time to plot a course to lay ahead of the convoy in a perfect firing postion :damn:

usualy if a convoy is heading away from me and is at a bad angle and distance i do not folow him... if is in a good position to intercept i just plot the normal interception and i increase a bit the speed to arive before him in that spot

what resolution do you use... i have it only for 16x9?

[Kumando]

[stoianm]

you mean when you are in scope mode?... or the interior submarine?

[Kumando]

you mean when you are in scope mode?... or the interior submarine?

Yes i mean in scope mod, for example around your attack scope it seems its made of rubber, and the uzo view is different, more roundish.

I just watched your 4-bearing video...v good but i have 1 question.

It's obviously impossible to i.d. the ship's nation when you have no visual (although you can get an idea fron the SOAN what possible nation it is)

How do you avoid sinking neutral targets? or god forbid german ones?

[stoianm]

depends where you are on map.... german ships you have very small chances to have... if is a neutral ... than is not so big deal... usually 4 bearing you use on heavy fog
