I remember seeing this in one of the multitude of tutorial videos or documents I read on how to effectively use the TDC/PK (I am running a campaign in HARD mode, so I get no "help" on TDC data), but I can't seem to remember if I 'saw' it correctly or if I was imagining things. OK, here goes....
I know that sticking your periscope up in a convoy should be kept to a minimum. I remember that one of the vids showed that you'd
- ID the ship,
- lock (L) the scope,
- engage the PK,
- get an initial distance/bearing and then
- DOWN SCOPE.
The video waited a minute or two (to allow the target to track) and then...
- UP SCOPE to find the scope still tracking the target ship,
- a quick second distance/bearing check, then
- a course/speed calculation, then
- adjust the AOB to the correct measurement,
- quickly reconfirm distance/bearing a final time and
- off the fish goes!
My question -- Why is it I can't get my scope to stay on the target craft after a scope-down? Should it? Did I imagine that aspect of the video?
Thanks to all who contribute here! Oh, BTW, I am running
TMO 163 (with the patch) and
HUD MOD for TMO 163.
