It's like if you were learning to ride a bicycle but it was too hard so training wheels were applied. But the training wheels were boringly easy so an arbitrary difficulty was added to training wheels. The skill learned in dealing with these training wheels has absolutely no value to the cyclist that has graduated to not using training wheels at all.

Also one of the big features of a torpedo is its ability to turn after leaving the boat. Many aspects of the "full procedure" in targeting are about this. Is there any way to get a "turning shot" while using the easiest mode of targeting? Everything so far I've seen of auto TDC is that the torpedo is going to go straight ahead and you'd better aim with the submarine and time it right.

watch the 2nd video my friend. So yes you can do a 180 degree shot if you wish. My second video advanced procudures shows how to fire from the rear torpedo, and also use a fish from the foward torpedo tubes to hit. In this case the torpedo has to do a 90 degree turn both times. The only problem with this is that this type of fire procedure you have to go outside the connect the circles and start to use the Line as a judgment instead of the circles.

Yes its harder.. But some people like myself hate math, and the Manual way requires some math. The new method only seems hard until you realise that its really not. It just really strange at first. It has grown on me.

Of course if your looking for realism, then the Auto TDC in any version of SH is not the thing for you

Everyday the games grows on you, this info is a big help, thanks!

Thanks, friend, it's a good help..

Ok, so the difference between the torpedo shooting straight no matter how the periscope moves and shooting where the periscope is pointing is done via some option? Your video doesn't cover this option which is rather important I would think.

Outstanding; thankyou very much

most of my shots were missing using auto tdc even with a green arrow lol

perhaps I shall do better now :-)

Thanks, this made it easier now that I know what is going on.

But I noticed that instead of playing the old way [THE RIGHT WAY!!!!] where your looking through the scope all the time to lock and line up your shot, now I don't even use the scope, everything is about lineing up those dumb dots on your map.
The Green Arrow is from what I noticed, useless. Unless I am missing something ?

Good tutorial though, made my game playable.

Would anyone help me to dive the boat. Menu say crew on deck.
How do I get crew off deck.

First day trying to get game to work, very different then SH4

Thanks

You have to leave the bridge, and then give the order to dive. I know, it feels like you are abandoning your men, we need a clear the bridge order.

Sorry just had to say

Woot first perfect kill hahahahah

Nice video. It should be very helpful to new players since the manual is no help at all.

You might want to mention opening outer doors though. I have very limited experience with this game yet but it seems that the doors are still relevent to accuracy. (IE, if I don't open them I hit a little bit aft of target)

If you can find the key that has that option that would be great. Have not found an Door Open tool like in SHIII and SHIV!

Yes I dont think that there is a outer door open key.:cry:
