I see all these Florida boys posting and just had to pipe in!

Have to thank RR for his tutorial on radar-only DO technique shoots. To say that I was dumbstruck when it actually worked(my skill, not the teachings), is an understatement.

A ship came up on radar, so I hopped up to the bridge to take a look around. Pitch black, no moon, 15m/s winds, heavy fog and rain; just one hell of a storm. So I decided to try out the "no eyes on target" method you spoke of.

Tracked the mark down his path, waited till he was a heartbeat past 20' and loosed my last 3 fish. Blew him out of the water at approximately 4000 yds, I couldn't even see the explosions it was so dark!

Thanks again to all that post here and make the game more enjoyable! And maybe for the next Subsim get together in Texas, we can form a Florida caravan!
