howdy all. :salute:
i am imperator182 and a newbie here.

firstly, i want to greet u all and introduce my self. i am a fan of ww2 games and played many games with different genres. i am now playing silent hunter 4 wolves of the pacific, u bot missions, patch 1.5. i am new to this kind of sub simulator game, but fairly familiar with the submarine operation through some kind of reading and other games experience.

secondly, i have a few problems and need some advices. may i post it here or i have to make a new thread for it? i'm trying the submarine school missions, and now in the 3rd missions where i have to make torpedo attack on japanese mogami CA with manual targeting. the problem is when i use the stad metre to calculate range and i think that it gives me wrong range calculation. i then try to compare it with range from sonar contact and check out contact data on realism setting to find out exactly where is that CA. i figured out that the range from stad gives me range difference about 300m compared to sonar and ship icon in naval map. i followed instructions in the manual how to use stad and place the waterline image on the top of that CA mast. am i doing it wrong? or is it always like that?

forgive me for my bad english. i'm not good with it.
thanks in advance, good skippers. :salute:

If you are using map contacts measure the distance from the U-boat centre to the Target;s centre with the comapass and then compare the difference.

Welcome to Subsim imperator182. great introduction and your English is fine. People have reported issues with the targeting and range features on SH4 like you have.

Look in the Subsim section for SH4 ands I'm sure you will find Mods with regards to fixing the issues you reported. I hope it all works out. Let us know.


Happy hunting. :sunny:
