Laconic has gone berserk and posted the above thread wherein he attacks two ships simultaneously. Forward tubes launched using TDC (I assume he is using the Easy Aob mod) and aft using the Solution Solver (he does not provide the name of either the mod or the program, but it is pretty obvious). He sinks a BB and Cruiser! That is some serious ass kicking.:yeah:

I have the Easy AOB mod installed, but it's not critical for my AOB solutions in the TDC. I was set up at a right angle, so that when the target passes my 0 bearing I know that its AOB is 90 degrees. From that, it's easy to find the AOB at whatever bearing I'm looking at it...if 0 bearing is 90, 10 bearing is 80, 20 bearing is 70, 30 bearing is 60, and so on. Makes setting up a good AOB a snap, as long as you're at a right angle to the target's course.

And yes, I did use Gutted's fantastic tool to get the shoot bearing for the other target. There's a credit in the video descriptions. Excellent work on that, Gutted!

Holy goodness, that's a lot of kills...

That is a very cool solution solver that Laconic show how us how to use. Is there a way to incorporate this into SH 4 UBM. I don't have enough experience in modding, just little things I'm trying to learn. I have 3deditor and photo shop that I have been using to learn.

Any modders that can point me in the right direction

Thanks and happy new year
keep the great mods coming.
