MTDC
 

Anyone see the mtdc in sh5?

Whats an mtdc?

Manual Torpedo Data Computer would be my assumption

yea its in..

source? ;)

Screenshots? ;)

I havnt seen any type of mtdc screen:oops: anywhere in sh5

maybe you are suposed to talk to the floating head on the scope and tell him stuff like... target spead, AOB and distance so that he can play with the knobs on the TDC?

that could be good.

Modeling the "sight taker--map plotter--TDC data entry" chain would be the most awesome. Even better if it worked with voice recognition. Of course this level of thinking is beyond the developer's talents or wishes.

I would have loved in SH3/SH4 to have simply shouted out a series of "range X-X-X-X, mark!" and then come back to the map and seen that my friendly AI crew member had placed map marks (with time!) for each one of those sightings. He even was so good as to fit a least-squares fit to the data and have calculated an average speed and course.

now that's something to look forward 5 years from now :rotfl2:
if that was released i'd pee and cry right in my game chair and wet my bed for the following week.
it would be awesome without voice recognition too of course.

The funny part is how absolutely straightforward that it is programmatically (the AI-assisted plotting, not the voice-activation). AI tactics, AI sensor usage, weather algorithms... these are all much harder for a programmer to make work.

I would venture to guess it is in there. The current videos show the nice yellow triangle for auto. Both SH3/4 had manual torp settings. No reason to drop that part of the game.

DEV team told that the game is not only for new players but for fans too.
No TDC - game not to SH fans.

The new TDC screen ... fully auto or randomly hit ratio depending of the realism options or "powers" ( i hate this new word)

For the new market target it needs to be easy and quick . With the new philosophy i guess that battle stations in the submarine are a secondary thing and it rely all to the crew
