Oh my god, thank you so much for this!! I finally understand how to use the watch officer and sonarman to figure out where a ship is!! And the medium/short range definitions are invaluable.

Thanks a lot!:p:rock:

:yep: That is great tutorial!
However,if you're using NYGM TW is not applicable.
First:-the range given to you by the WO is removed,as historycally he could not give you precise range,just short-medium-long range.He could use the UZO to find a more precise range,but with the more realistic visual AI in TW you will be spotted in day light by the time you get close enought to find a goog reading on the mast.
Second:historycally,an U-boat coul be trimmed to a neutral buoyancy only for a short period of time.So that's why TW uses the "anti humming bird" mod, wich will make the sub sink slowly if dont keep at least 1-2 knt.So it gets harder to just sit and wait for the target to get in front of you,to gain the perfect firing solution.
Other than that,the tutorial is full of invaluable information,like te short-medium-long range on sonar......:up:

All it needs is a running commentary to explain what's going on. You move so fast Danotec sometimes it's hard to remember what you're doing:p.

It does have a commentary, allthough not a very good one since the game's noise sometimes drowns mi voice out, specially when standing on the bridge.... try turning the volume up more for now, but next time (if there is one) I'll try to speak up more into the mic.

Videos saved from YouTube are flash videos and can be played with FLV Player. One of the reasons I suggested posting the files themselves to FileFront or something, so it would be easier to download and play. :)

Thanks for the info kylania. Tryed useing the FLV Player but it would not work i think my only hope is that someone will beable to upload them to filefront or some other site.
It is a shame as this what i have been looking for. As it is just what i need to help me learn manual TDC.

stabiz 09-05-06 07:30 PM

Yes, this should definately be uploaded to filefront, as higher res really would be a help.

Did you rename the files with a .flv extension?

If you're using Firefox (that everyone should be using due to Internet Exploder's gaping security holes) there's an extension called videodownloader that can be used to DL vid files:

you may be missing a codec...download a small (free) programme called GSPOT (from CNET.com) and run it passed/through that...it will identify what codec it is using...then, if that is the reason, download the latest appropriate codec from CNET and hopefully that will solve your problem :up:

mr chris 09-06-06 10:10 AM

Tryed adding the flv extension to the file but it only works for five seconds then stops complete mystery to me:hmm:

Scheisskopf 09-06-06 03:11 PM

this is great, i use all your techniques and strategies and they always work. Thanks

oh and i also have that problem with taking down a ship with one torpedo, its strange, i can sink a tanker with one torpedo, but a c2 or c3 takes 3-4 :damn:

How 'bout uploading a second version with subtitles?

I guess I could add subtitles to the current one without too much trouble, if it's OK to you.
