Okay, thanks. I'm slightly starting getting an idea of what I am doing.
Now I started to use the stadimeter (I didn't before, it was all mapworks instead) but I find it kinda hard. I can see on the map that the steamer I am attacking is about 3050 meters away, but the stadimeter claims everything from 2500-3500, even if I use the funnel on the ship. But I suppose it just takes some practice. I also started using the rangefinder, but jesus crist those crewmembers do drink alot or else I just didn't figure it out. What is the trick for that one? Last they claimed the steamer was going 49 knots, but my map claims 11.
Now for AoB again. When I select the menu for typing in AoB do I select just where I want the torp to hit or do I use the My course-Target course +/- periscope angle? And how precise do I have to be to hit with it?
Also, is there a smart way to find out which course I am heading? Right now I am using the map, a ruler and the compas thing. Oh, and can anyone tell me how come 0/360 degrees is south instead of north?
EDIT: Oh yea, one more question: Where is it, in generel, best to hit ships? I had quite good succes by hitting them in the bow. Hitting them in the middle (starboard or port) seems to be less damaging in generel. But those are only small observations.
