I'm goin' down · 08-22-10, 01:53 AM

I went back to my Leyete Gulf Mission. I figured I would treat it as a practice mission. So I tracked the second task force, American, as I noted earlier. I was gigantic. This was a night time exercise. I began tracking this ENE of my original position at around 3 a.m. At about 4 a.m., after several ships passed, I fired four torpedoes at an American troop carrier. Range around 1200 yds. determined by sonar. Speed 7 kts. via plotting. Map contacts disabled. 3D TDC used to plot course (327 degrees) and speed measuring points. Too many ships to use 3D TDC to track an individual ship for purposes of a radar only attack. Note: dds didn't bother me as I was considered a friendly. Six shots with a spread and 15 ft. running depth. 6 hits. Target exploded. I never had a good aspect ratio via the stadimeter because it was too dark, so I relied on my course plot and sonar for the attack.

Your TDC is ready for the market. Make your final tweaks and you are there. Congratulations. This may be the mod of the year. I like it. Now for celestial navigation...
