NO WAY! That's it!!!? DOH!! :oops:

Forever the wannabee!! :p

I couldn't locate these from the original links, thank you for reposting!! :up:

I've just downloaded these videos, thanks for taking the time to do them.
However, I'm struggling to follow. An example is in the Position Keeper video you say something like "make the target track go north" and turn the wheel, but the target is facing left on the dial (270 deg) and not upwards (000 deg). I think this problem is due to the submarine facing a heading of 090.

This is an unwanted complication and I'm struggling to follow as it is. I think for the moment I'm still using the automatic targeting system, the video has not helped me.

Also, you clearly understand the concept and how everything works. Sometimes you move too quickly and don't expain in much detail what and why you're doing something. Again, I'm struggling to follow.


Thanks.

PS - Suggestion - why not update the original post with working links?

hi. this is so awsome, a big thanks! Just what I was needing. No more auto target for me, now I can begin to play for real.

sonar attacks
 

I too have enjoyed these tutorials. They are fantastic! I do have a question though... in the tutes Werner says there can be sonar error. OK, fine. On another thread I saw someone had written that the sonar works perfectly (OK, maybe they meant accurately...) My question is this; on a recent attack I had a nice slow merchant who had no idea I was there so no zig zag or anything. I decided to do a dual solution; both with scope raised and using sonar for ranging. On the battlemap I noticed that the sonar plot was always about a boat length behind the visual track and about 50yds closer. Doesn't sound like much, but I shot at 900yds range on sonar bearings and the torp missed astern. I corrected the gyro angle manually to intersect the visual plot and scored a hit.
Could this be inexperienced crew? It's obviously no problem in Werner's boat... I pinged that merchant maybe 20 times and 90 percent were as described (the other 10 percent were long and behind). Sonar error gives deviations, but this was a consistent error in location.

Update!
 

I've just updated my The Dick O'Kane (UB & FB) and Fast-90 (UB only) attack methods post to include new, easier to understand step-by-step (follow the bouncing ball!) procedure PLUS a brand new tutorial on Wazoo's great Fast-90 attack technique for U-Boats. Yes, if you order now I'll give you our Dick O'Kane slide seminar, the simple, step-by-step directions that even your cat could use successfully, and if you order in the next thirty minutes, I'll include absolutely free of charge, my entirely new, easy to understand procedure for Wazoo's incomparable Fast-90 U-Boat attack! That's three great tutorials for the cost of one! Then you can say with me "Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am the meanest son of a biscuit eater in the valley!"

Please note that although I share credit for the Dick O'Kane attack procedure with aaronblood and gutted, the Fast-90 technique was originated and named by Wazoo. Names are important and it ticks me off to see lazy people not give credit where credit is due and who take it upon themselves to rename something created by others. Damn, I sound as cranky as Ducimus!:rotfl:

In honor of WernerSobe and in partial compensation for the fact that no sonar only attack procedures other than Werner's have been published, I have developed the Dick O'Kane Sonar Only (by God!) Attack Technique.

After much reflection and realization that Subsim's unfortunate combination of U-Boat and Fleet Boat enthusiasts in the same forum has resulted in a predictable competition of U-Boat and Fleet Boat enthusiasts. The flood of U-Boaters from SHIII and the many SH4 people (including myself) who have jumped into the new U-Boat aspect of SH4 into the formerly exclusive Fleet Boat SH4 world has served to make an atmosphere unfriendly to Fleet Boaters and U-Boaters alike. The mods for both sides are squeezed into the same mod forum, contributing to the same problem there.

Therefore, I am posting all Fleet Boat oriented tutorials and videos in a forum dedicated to Fleet Boat culture, Subsowespac. I will continue to post links here for the benefit of people who could benefit. I will continue to sail my U-Boat, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have. I will continue to post and have a lot of fun at Subsim while I wait for a change of heart in their unfortunate decisions that do a disservice to fleet boaters and U-Boaters. This is not an anti-U-Boat diatribe, it is a statement of fact and intention.

So here is the link to the new Dick O'Kane Sonar Only (by God!) Attack Video. And while you're at it, spend some time over at SubSoWesPac, a site dedicated to Fleet Boat submarine simulation.

:huh:

But....there are indeed separate forums for UBM and SH4, so what's the problem? :hmm:

A once robust and vibrant community is a wasteland now. When I could visit evey day and find my choice of dozens of posts to reply to and a post stayed on page 1 for a day, we have progressed to an atmosphere where posting has slowed to a crawl. A post can linger on page 1 for weeks now. Before release of SH4UBM that would not have happened. Subsim just doesn't feel as friendly any more. Obviously, there must be others who feel as I do.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating abandoning Subsim. None of my stuff is actually leaving here. It will continue to be as available as before, but you'll have to visit another place to get it. I'm suggesting adding to the places you visit, and recommending SubSoWesPac as a fleet boat friendly place where like-minded people do not conflict with each other.

The slowing down in posting isn't due to UBM, as otherwise it would have shifted to the UBM forum, which it hasn't. It has been a general slowdown which IMHO is probably due to the fact that the game is not so new any longer.

I am member of the SubSowesPac forums already since long and it's a great community, much smaller than subsim and composed of great enthusiasts of Fleet Boats -so enthusiastic that they have kept the old SH1 alive and healthy until SH4 came out!- but the posting traffic isn't also that high. The ambience and friendliness is great, though :up:

Fleet Boars aren't so popular outside the US as german U-Boats and that's a fact, so it's logical that SH4 will not see worldwide the amount of success that SH3 saw until people get more and more used to the concept of the submarine Pacific War and discover its greatness :yep:

Well said Hitman :yep:


RDP

Anyone in doubt needs to be taken on a patrol with SJ-Radar, SD-Radar, six forward and four aft tubes, a 20+ knot max speed and an ice cream machine. If they don't convert after that they're hopeless cases :lol:

Werner's links
 

....take me to the main Filefront page. Are these links no longer available?
:cry:

Try this link.

Arrrrrrrrrrr! :arrgh!:

Going to watch when i have time :D

Great someone had them uploaded.:up:

Will get them when I get home tonight.

Cheers

/OB :)

Greetings to all. I here first time explain to me how to be connected to game through Hamachi?
And how to enter in the game to get to you?
And why when I enter in hamachi that all players which at me shows writes what not to networks? What I not so do? Help?

This is obviously related in some way to Advanced TDC/PK technique in a way that I am unable to grasp. Surely you wouldn't be posting a completely irrelevent query in an inappropriate thread, would you?:nope:

Saved!
 

The re-post saved the day! Now that im working on manual targeting (not TMO yet, just RFB) I am reading/watching everything I can on the subject.

Big thanks!
Mr. Sargyano
