Whaa? But, but, but I thought this was manual targeting...
Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure this is as "manual" as manual targeting gets. In the Baltic mod, your torpedos don't turn, so auto-targeting is non-functional. Since I'm not yet in the office, the TDC is still locked (it might be disabled in the Baltic mod, I'll find out soon).
Without either one of those, I'm left to calculate the target speed and heading, as well as my own speed, heading, torpedo speed, and lead angle. Then I've got to calculate at what point to fire my fish so that they intercept the target and... make go BOOM!
And all of that with pencil and paper... rough Soviet paper, and cheap Soviet pencils, no less
. Sunk me 6 German freighters for a total of 58,000 tons.
Anyways, not trying to be defensive, just tooting my own horn
If anyone knows of any better ways to target with non-aimable torpedos, I'm all ears. I'm using an abreviated Cromwell method with a "three minute diagram". (actually, I'm pretty sure it's a form of vector analysis). I'm just figuring this out, so any advice from all you pros would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and happy huntings.
