Is there a tutorial about using the UZO, obviously for surface attacks? Just read "The Golden Horseshoe" - Kretschmer's career, so keen to try surface attacks. To date have preferred to launch the attack submerged.

It seems that Kretschmer cruised between the convoy columns and launched his torpedoes for "right-angle" track - can anyone point me to a how-to for that?

Thanks
hello Aus3620,


you will find instructions on how to use the range finder at uzo(red scale) at the manos optics.txt (at documents)
i don't know what you mean by saying ''right-angle'' track but i guess that you mean that torpedo's run course will interesept target's course vertically .in this case read the ''perfect shots'' tutorial that is included in MaGui's .rar


if you mean (with ''right-angle'' track) that your sub's attack course is intercepting vertically target's course then after you have placed your sub to a vertically intercept course ,you can use your tdc :
1.uzo at zero degrees
2.set tdc to manual
3.set aob 90 left or right (depending of situation)
4.set target's speed
5.set tdc to auto
6.lock uzo on target
7.wait untill your gyroangle goes to zero and...shoot !
or you can use the procedure that is described at the ''straight shots'' tutorial (looking the column for lb=90 degrees) that is ,also incuded in .rar

One question though. In Uzo, how to place the names of boats and torpedoes as icons in the PERISCOPE ATTACK. (Boat: bottom right in the label, Torpedo icon in the upper right) I know you have to go menu_1024_768 but where exactly?
