problem with manual TDC

[magnus28]

Hi .. i'm realitvely new to SH5.. but i've watched the youtube videos on manual tdc.. however, I don't see the little face icon of my xo in the periscope view giving the option of turning on TDC... I thought I could circumvent this by setting manual TDC in the game settings, but it doesn't seem to matter.

What i'm trying to do is get my officers to at least give me the options of using the tools such as protractor, ruler, and compass and allow me to plot the range, bearing, speed, and aob of the ship so I can give my crew the option of finding a firing solution for me.

Mind you, i'm still in the first mission of the campaign, but after sinking the sitting duck at the start of the mission, I can't sink any more ships because there doesn't seem to be a way to plot a solution for my crew.


help please, and ty.

You have to lock the target first. Point scope at target and press spacebar.
Then the XO window should appear.

After you finish that first mission you will gain all functionality back. That first mission is best played with no mods as the game imposes some strange limitations with that 'training' mission.

Ahh thank you Wraitih!

I was a bit scared when I read jwiiliams post because i've tried that, and it doesn't work.

i'll finish the first mission and report back!
