Sorry fellas for the tirade above. Needed some R+R after that last patrol.
Good idea on practice mission, however I've actually done one of the single missions several times and became quite good at hitting the same target over and over again (or so I thought). I seem to be having troubles in the campaigns.
(Whispering to NorthBeach) ...umm...you have to hit the button twice???
Here's my basic procedures when I use the stadimeter only, done this method countless times:
1) Take a range reading using stadimeter, click the send to tdc button (click only once). Verify the range updated on the left tdc window.
2) Take second range reading using stadmeter, click the send to tdc button (click only once). Verify the range updated on the left tdc window.
3) Go to speed calc and click on the button where it estimates speed.
4) Once speed (and course) is calc'd, I click send to tdc (click only once). THis is assuming the speed calc is fairly close to what I estimated on nav map. If it's not, I enter my own speed from the 3 min rule and hit send to tdc. Verify the speed updated on the left tdc window.
5) I go to angle on bow and adjust the ship to match the calc'd course on the left picture. Click send to tdc (click only once). Verify the AOB updates on the tdc window.
6) I then hit the red button to start tracking
7) As the ship gets closer, I will redo step 1 for range and sometimes double check step 5 for AOB.
8) I set torp depths
9) After final repeat of step 1 for range, I open torp doors, adjust torp angle left or right. Target is locked in sight.
10) Fire
I think that's all of em.
I only just did manual range (not stadmeter) entry once or twice. Basically the same steps above except I get the range from the nav map. I only click send to tdc once.
So at least from your comments, sounds like there may be something i'm doing wrong, which is great cuz at least there's something i can try again.
