Please, could somebody answer me :oops: , (see my last post) do you think data given by the command "estimate target speed and course" is an average data or an exact data?
Thx! :arrgh!:

From my experience so far it's only an estimate but it is really accurate when you let pass some time between taking the first and second range. The longer you wait to take a second range reading the more accurate the estimation will be.

It's an answer as accurate as the data you feed it. Unfortunately, since it is not based on a plot and you are stuck with the stadimeter's measuring innacuracies, it often is insufficient. If just one of the ranges is off the course is wrong. And the speed is likely wrong too. I've gotten some hits from it but just don't like not having any checks and balances to tell me whether my solution looks good or not.

That gets rid of those numbers, but now the black border doesn't stretch all the way to the left and right edges of the screen. Might be something off with those settings you posted?

:rotfl:
+ You must to rename (look #65):
[G28 I127] --> [G28 I123];
[G28 I128] --> [G28 I124];
[G28 I129] --> [G28 I125];
[G28 I130] --> [G28 I126];
That's all ...
Sorry ... :D

In v1.4 of SH4, Dev's have made 4 "patches" ([G28 I127] ... [G28 I130]) for wide-screen monitors ...

Not only will you hit the target with this technique, but you will individually aim each torpedo for a specific spot on the target to distribute damage for efficient sinking. Let us know how you do and we'll fill in the blanks!:up:

Is that the real method Mr. O'Kane used back in the Pacific War?
