Is there a manual tdc tutorial for thedarkwraith UI? Best if it is a video and done with map contact update, although i guess the latter is not really a must :P

And furthermore, does anyone know the actual speed settings between the 3 different types of speed for the torpedoes? Cause im using my own way of calculating a firing solution in the meantime, but have no idea how fast the torpedoes can travel.

Still no good. Im not playing 100% realism though, but my torpedoes still miss.

I suspect its because i keep calculating the speed incorrectly :(

Do you have stock crew abilities? If so your problem is increased torpedo speed abilities.

You must edit SpecialAbilities.upc (...\Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCCrewData) or install crew mod to correct that problem.

Never mind, i think its because my AOB is wrong :P Cant be sure though


For speed, i now take 2 range readings using the stadimeter a few mins apart and then let my navigator calculate it. Using darkwraith UI as well by the way.
