newbie question alert hehe!
 

ahoy fellow captains,my name is Can!greatings from Turkey! :)

i am the new guy on this forum.i always heard about silent hunter series but never have a chance to play.well finally after discovering the great great SH3 a month ago(a huge 'Das Boot' movie fan here) ,i've discovered here while "googleing" some tips for the game.i must say that you guys rock!(GWX what a mode!!)

i learned the game basics but i am struggling with manuel TDC.the game is still fun for me with automatic TDC but i wanna take a few steps forward.so any video or written links from you guys about manuel TDC will be highly appreciated.(but please keep in mind that i am a newbie hehe! :DL )

sorry for the long post btw,i dont wish to bother anyone.

The ultimate guide to manual targeting is Wazoo's Manual Charting & Targeting Tutorial [v 2.3]

This video is also pretty good, though it isn't at maximum realism:

its great the see Turkish fans of this great game hehe!i dont have a specific point,i am just looking for some tips with the manuel targeting as i have no exprerience with it.either written or video although video links will be much better for me as i am a newbie captain :) (türkçe konuşabiliyor muyuz bilmiyorum başlık altında :) )

welcome.
I've only just switched to collecting data for the TDC manually and I've been playing for a lot longer than a month, so if you are struggling with it then you are not the only one.
Check out the guides posted by Panser, if you are still having problems then keep the Weapons Officer assitance on, he's always right. that way you can collect the data yourself and then see if you were right by asking him for a solution.

yea its great to see you here too :) if you want tips so you docked in a very right place, all the captains around here are so experienced and full of knowledge just ask anything you want to hear about like I did once upon a time ago :D (abi bi suru tutorial ve video bulabilirsin turkce konusmamiza pek ii bakmayabilirler burda gerci fark etmezde millet fransiz kalir hep:D istedigin zaman ozel mesaj atabilirsin bana burdan her konuda bildiklerimi anlatabilirim sana)

ah good to see i am not the ony one struggling with it.:) i have a huge problem with the torpido angle (it always misses the target ship) ,but i am gonna try the 3mins 15 secs rule that i have just saw from the youtube link Panser sent.

hehe great to hear that cambaz.(abi şu youtube linkine bakıyorum elemanın yolladığı manuel TDC olayım bir felekat.açı fln yapamıyorum biraz kasmak lazım anlaşılan :))

Doing manual targeting right out of the box is most ambitous, many experienced players decline to do it (usually out of preference and saving time and frustration). For manual targeting I'd suggest that you use the OLC Gui mod, its been around for a long time and (arguably) the best scope out there.

You get all the info you need from sliding the rings around which mechanically will compute most of the data you need. From my experience, its made (for me) an operation that was once extremely difficult down to something hard. It's been around when I started playing in 2006, and just kept improving over time, there's a plethora of people that can help on how to use it (and there's some good tutorial videos for it as well).

Tessa tnx for the tips.now i am checking the mode you told me.

Wlcome to aboard Herr Kaleun :salute:

Cheers Kapitan!!:salute:

Ahoy and welcome, Can! :salute:

No tips on manual targeting from me as I am still relying on Mr. Triangle to help with that particular chore. But I can echo what most others have said, you've found the right place for answers to your SH3 questions. :yeah:

WELCOME ABOARD! :sunny:

I have Manual Targetting set, but also WE Assistance. It takes longer since I have him take several readings even though he doesn't need to. It's just as easy but at least it 'feels' more real.

Welcome aboard herr kaleun :salute:

Good luck and happy hunting...
