TDC help.. please.. youtube isn't great.
 

has anybody got a great guide to using TDC, i use darkwraiths UI mod, so getting the Range/speed is easy... but getting the AoB is a pain, i manage to get a angle like the youtubr video showed me, but it never matches up????

see screenshots, i used this guys TDC tactics, my torps seem to be lagging behind the ship?

I'd really like any help and step by step guides please? ... step by steps would be brilliant.

Also anybody know why i cant get the dials on my periscope eve ntho im using the TDC new UI (with dials activated in useroptions)http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/57...17F127CA9A07B/http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/57...C7926E6A3E428/

Can't help you with the dials, but for AOB:

Select the protractor tool on the map screen.

With the protractor tool, draw a line from the bow(nose) of the target ship to the centre of the target ship, then to the bow of your sub. This will show you the target's AOB - but bear in mind that it'll give you the AOB at the moment you make the measurement, and so you'll have to manually add a degree or two to compensate for the time between the measurement and inputting the information in the TDC.

Inaccurate target speed will also give you results like the screenshot even if the AOB is right, so just in case - easy way to determine target speed is use the map and place a mark with the pencil tool on the ship & start the stopwatch. After 3 minutes & 15 seconds, make another mark at the ship's new position. The distance between these two points, divided by 10, is the ship speed.

And, since I'm on a roll here, again just in case - remember, for SH5, accurate Statimeter ranging is achieved by aligning the mirror image of the target's waterline to the targets' highest mast. :up:

Eeeesh seems weird cause my torpedoes seem too far behind even for my settings? So if I was to get aob the way you said my tops have a mind of their own lol. I got ship speed by clicking on ship and it said the speed in a box?

Look like you are getting port and starboard mixed up.
The above should be -**Deg:up:

From your screenshots you don't have my UIs mod installed correctly. Check your folder structure

oh? .. i just did my angles and it said 43 :S lol..

i didn't at that time, but i now got all the dials etc working i think it was conflicting with another mod?
