[REQ] Bring back old targeting
 

I am so frustrated with the new targeting system. Is there anyway the old one can be ported over to SH5. Half the time my numbers or dot connectors are not on the map. They are there one second. And are gone the next. Why did they change it. If i lead a target, torps still run way off. FRUSTRATiNG!:damn:

i like this system better to be honest, now i can atleast have some Impact myself as where the torpedo will hit.

and that the dots goes away is because you loose lock, atleast that is what happens for me.

have patience......:cool:

I'd really like the old targetting system back! Together with a working TDC as I requested before.

baby steps people....baby steps. Once I get a good UI setup then I'll concentrate on the other items (like this).

Surely if you have the dots you are on Auto targeting not manual?:o

I have no probs with maual targeting:arrgh!:

The dots etc aren`t realistic.

I want to have the olc/magui back from sh3. (realistic)

And at least the realistic calculations on the map. I don`t want
to have the ughly dots on the map.

That`s my opinion.

You can do that in the old Auto TDC too. Just unlock the periscope/uzo, aim and fire. Torpedo will be targeting the position of the ship where your sights were.

I also for long time just kept auto tdc locked and always "had to" hit ships in the mid point, dunno what video tutorial it was where I discovered I can fire target selected but not "view" locked in my sights.

Anyways.

I want the old targeting system back, this new one is horrible.

The biggest problem with the new auto TDS is the fact you can't hit anything at long distance (1800 meters and above).

This must be fixed ASAP.

i personally dont like doing math and the last thing i want to do is do math in my video games.

if and when i finally buy sh5 i want the old point lock and shoot method back. if i wanted to do math i would go back to school and those absolutely rediculous number dots are something that MUST be eliminated.


step 1 IMO is auto targetting must be automatic so shouldnt that be a simple concept to understand when making the game?

as i see it you only have a choice for simplified manual targetting or fully manual targetting and there is no real auto targetting as the game is now.

i keep telling myself that no matter what, this game will be great after the modders finish it but its hard to stay convinced when so much of the easiest to understand concepts of how things are working in the game tend to be dissappointing.

i only play auto targetting and without a sh3 / sh4 style auto targetting system i can see the game losing its appeal for me

Exactly. The 'auto' TDC is quite unusable in its current state. It's even simpler to use the manual targeting instead.
Please, say this to Devs. As a moderator of Subsim, you've obviously have some weight, maybe they'll listen to your suggestion.

the manual mode is a HUGE leap forward but the auto is an embarrassing step back...

For me the same?
If i want headache, i hit with my head to a wall.

The automatic is a joke. 4 Torpedos and all missed. And this at 900 meters distance.

Bad bad.

I want the olc/magui back :damn:
