Fastfed,

I'm in a similar position to what you describe.
I've returned to SH3 after a considerable absence.
I used to use OLC Gold Option 3, and had a "Check List" for Manual Targeting taken from OLC's video tutorials. After some repetitive training on my part, it worked. Many hits..!!

I decided to upgrade my SH3 set-up after browsing the SH3 Mods Forum, and subsequently downloaded MaGui 3.4 as an alternative.
In having a few trial runs via Naval Academy Convoy Attack and Happy Times Single Mission to become acquaint with MaGui, I find the markings on the Whiz Wheel have slightly changed from OLC. (ie 58 degrees was the red marker to indicate target speed).

Therefore like you, I'm missing easy targets.

Hopefully I set the TDC correctly, so I can only assume my calculations from the Attack Periscope Whiz Wheel must therefore be wrong.

I'm currently searching for a tutorial on MaGui to find my error. There's a "Angriffsscheibe Handbuch", but that relates to the separate Attack Disc unit.

I was intrigued by your "SET KEYS MOD" and if this might solve the problem, but that's I assume introducing Assisted Targeting which the MaGui is trying to get away from. However, I can't find the mod in SH3 Downloads or via the Forum Search Engine to investigate.

Advice from any Kaluens on MaGui 3.4 Manual Targeting such as a Check List/Set of Instructions, or alternatively where the Set Keys Mod info is located and, if it would be appropriate, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
