Welcome aboard
Manual targetting is tough, first focus on intercepting until you can do that without any assistance from a guide, then go to manual targeting.
Theres a few tricks to plotting to intercept most people use. First of all, plotting accurately is very hard to do unless your patient and willing to take your time. For me to get accurate points (Like my supposed targets heading and speed right) I ALWAYS zoom in as far as I can. The farther you zoom in, the less your error will be and the better off your plot will be. Second it also helps to understand what your doing when intercepting a target. A good guide for that would be in the Newbie thread then go to the first post and click on the link to "The Hunt: An illustrated tutorial" that teaches you how to intercept a target line up a good shot, and create a firing solution all manually(Dont worry about the last part yet especially if your new, manual targetting is something that takes a bit to get, Im still stuck on auto
) And a few pages deepr, (I cant remember what page exactly) there is a one-all picture that basically shows you everything in that tutorial in one picture using different colored lines and isntructions. But once you get that, go and practice it by using a career and continueing to practice it until it becomes second nature (until you dont have to paust the game, tab out and look at a guide to see what to do next)
Sorry that was so long. Hope it helps
