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

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.

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:

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.

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

Big thanks Stoianm:yeah:

Thx again, for an other great tutorial! (This sentence's getting boring by the ammount of tutorial you're posting :O:)

Don't you have to sleep sometimes??
Begin to worry about your health!:DL

Regarding the 4 bearings method there is a great tool!
Isn't the same fun like drawing the lines by hand, but for the start it's a great help!

Have a look at this:

Hydrophone tracker

Solution solver can be a help too!

I have boths installed... but i do not use because i do not like to alt - tab the game... the hydrophone traker was good tool when the 4 bearing method was released first time... there were a lot of ploting... but the new 4 and improuved bearing method is very simple.. you do not need anymore the hydrophone traker:up:

i told you manny times that i do not sleep because i am a romanian vampire from Transilvania... we do not sleep in the night:DL

new video tutorial
 

Hi,

i made a new video tutorial:



25) How to use only the RAOFB wheel with Real nav and Realism 100% in SH5 ==> Link

See post #1 for details

stoianm can you make a video tutorial about the attack disk? I already know how to use the RAOFB wheel but I dont understand how to use the attack disk.

ps: your videos are great and instructive.

I will do soon.. right now i am very busy with the env mod

@Stoianm what program are you using to make your videos is it fraps?
