Ok, let's try this in small steps.

FIRST: does it absolutely have to be in dutch? There is a simple tutorial in youtube, that, although in english, basically shows the essential in manual targeting with images and is very easy to understand (I suppose, in all languages since it is very visual). It uses the 'torpedo attack' mission on 'submarine school', so you can try it yourself step by step.

Here. Watch it....



... and then comment if it was any help.

You should have no problem. Although here in the forum there are lots of different methods (which are usually for most extreme situations, like shooting from very far etc), the basic procedure is this:

1 - Turn on the position keeper (red button on lower right).

2 - identify your target. Click on the 'ok' button in the recognition manual.

3 - It's mast will be informed directly to the TDC when you do it. Click the 'stadimeter' button.

4 - A doubled image of the ship will appear in the periscope. Match the top mast of the clear (stoped) image, with the bottom of the movable image. THis will send height to the TDC.

5 - Go to Angle of the Bow (AOB) dial and direct the target in the same interception angle that it is. In the sample mission it is exactelly 90 degrees to the right.

6 - Go back again to the stadimeter and take a second distance measurement.

7 - Go the the last dial on the TDC input interface, which assesses speed. Click on the 'estimate' button. If you had taken two distance measurements, and an angle on the bow esitmate, this last resource calculates the speed of the target. In the scenario it is 9 knots.

8 - Remember, everytime you take an estimate, you have to click the red button - "send data to TDC".

That's it. The torpedo will be automaticaly guided to the targed if you did things right. Just practice until you get it right.
