It's good to know I am not the only one with real navigation fixes going astray.

I thought it was me, and its not, lol.

Could dud torps be linked to firing at stationary ships as no speed is put in the TDC?

The angle at which you fire at a ship can affect it too. I did a raid on Danzig and shot at some stationary targets that were at pretty extreme angles and got duds all around. I reloaded and fired at them with magnetic and they went off. I further tested it by shooting one at the target ship's bow where the angle of the ship was less extreme than midship and the torp on impact went off.

Scripts do not know is it calculated position placed above ground or at sea. It's not a real navigator, it's just introduced error in automatically calculated dead reckoning (just what we need btw). You can add your nav fix anytime and "navigator" will calculate next fix considering your dead reckoning fix...

Of course not, why would they?:06:

Guys, you're forgetting that even if torpedo solution is perfect in any way, if torpedo struck curved bottom of the ship's hull this will also make impact detonators useless.
Also, dont think that selected torpedo depth is given by god, TDW gen. patcher introduces all kind of randomness...Torpedo speed, depth, angle ect...
It's also important to know that with this mod setup magnetic detonator wont work if torpedo at least slightly hit ships keel(most of the time)...:yep:

early war stage the magnetic detonation torpedos had a high rate of failures 1939 - 1941 and after 1941 the magnetic detonation failures went down to 10 - 15 %

official notes

" There were several reasons with both torpedo types (magnetic, contact)
The difficulties I know are:
The contact-pistol (The mechanism which passed the pressure on to the igniter) was designed too complicated and failed especially at hits not at 90 degrees angle. These were the dud torpedoes.
At the magnet-pistol they obviously forgot that the magnetic field is different in different regions on earth (especially high north). This produced also dud torpedoes.
The altmeter in the magnetic torpedoes was not sealed off from the surrounding air good enough. When the sub dived and surfaced the torpedoes went too deep because of this error."

Just imagine how the actual Uboat captains felt lol. I think all 3 of Prein's torps at Scapa were duds. Then during the Norway campaign it was some ridiculous number of duds.

While playing the campaign and have a ship in sight , go to automation and choose raofb practice . Don't click on the Tutorial on the main menu or do a single mission . Just click on Automation panel while playing the campaign .

Hi Shaefer

This TWOS mod just released "The Wolves of Steel - Wind & Smoke addon" placed last will put your target identify icon back.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4703

When you updated your game it changed the page layout file and you lost it.
With this mod enabled last and future updates to come you will not lose it again.

Draggable Compass
Rotate the outer compass so that the targets bearing is at the top.
Take your own bearing from the inner compass.
Now look at the outer compass from your own bearing and you have the targets course.

The mouse wheel moves the outer dial 1 degree at a time.
To move the dial quickly, place the curser on the outer dial and hold down the left mouse button and then move the mouse.
To change to 180/360 at the top place the mouse curser in the inner dial and right click the mouse button.
This device is very useful for real navigation for getting the target course quickly.
Both of the 0 - 0 need to start at the top.

For your own tutorial copy
Open the mega mod zip file.
Open the 3rd folder The Wolves of St...
Go to the New_Ui's_TDC_7_5_... folder showing 27 135 427
Open Documentation
Go to the 3rd PDF file Compass Tutorial
Go to the Copy Tab
Press Ok

You should now have your copy readily at hand.

There are a lot fewer air patrols in NWA compared to the East Coast, so I would not be too concerned.

Thank you very much Peter. :up:
That's some useful information as always. :yep:

Can you post again your last carieretrack.upc again please? Just to check why you haven't received new sub yet...:hmmm:

Here is a nice little deck gun sound effect I use .

Love that sound :) Thanks allot. It`s installed:)

I can not find the ship recognition manual. I finally found some ships after 20 days with nothing, and I could not identify it. Had to abandon the attack...:/\\!!(Lucky me I saved an hour before, and I know where they are now:D)
I found the ship in "the book of ships", but there is no way to confirm that I found it.....so everything gets wrong in the TDC then....

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:46 PM.
