I replayed my attack on the Akita Maru, and sunk the son of a bitch. (Finally.) I tracked with your mod and had three consitent speed readings of 10 kts. The course I drew was parallel to the target's siloutette which was about 350 yds. parallel from the course line I drew all the way down the line. I remembered to reset the stadimeter to the Range Dial after sending speed to the TDC. This old dog can learn a new trick every now and then!

Here are my questions;
1. My course was off by a few degrees. How can In overcome that problem?
2. Why do you turn the TDC on after the last speed reading? I do not understand? I turned it on anyway.
3. I set up for a constant bearing attack. I set the scope at 350 degrees and fired when the target, whose speed was 10 kts. crossed that bearing. One torpedo caused the Akita Maru to blow up and split in half, so I do not know if the others hit. Two of the torpedoes were 36 kts. torpedoes. The rest were 46 kts. How can you do a constant bearng attack with torpedoes of different speeds? I fired the four fast torpedoes first and the two slower torpedoes last? Since the constant bearing attack is based upon the fast torpedo speeds (or is it?), there is a problem when you fire slower running torpedoes I presume.

Next up, attack with map contact off using the mod.
