Questions:
How do you find out the RPM and speed from the tanker?
this is all based on propeller pitch, we cannot use a true propeller pitch in sh3 at this time, maybe in the next edition of sh.
i modified the propeller pitch, by listening to every speed of the merchants, and british destroyers, then made a chart.
it would be nice if the dev team for sh4 could put a propeller pitch entry in the ship rec manual.
Can you be sure that the target is at 34km?
yes, because i made the mission, to try out the sonar overlay, and work with it.
Doesnt it depend on seastate and depth how far a noise can be heard via sonar?
this is true, but in this mission, the weather is clear, calm.
when im done with the tutorial, i change the weather to a 15 m/s wind, heavy rain, heavy fog, and test the sound range .
How do you know that the target is not around for some time already.
again, if it was around for awhile, then sound intensity of the ships screws has to be the way to go.
are you manning the sonar manually _all the time_ to spot it as soon as it shows up?
for this mission i did, when in campaign, running on high time compression, the ships clock slows down, frame rate slows down when a target is coming close, you can go to real time then and search.
What is the north-south line, centered on "Mark 1" good for?
this is a modified way that i use when im trying to figure a visual targets AOB. i was in the u s army for awile, in my younger days, and training goes on all the time. i adapted things that i learned from military land navigation courses, what works for land, can also work for the sea. i will cover visual AOB, in your head style, in phase IV of the sound trainer.
One more question are you doing all the overlays in real time of do you have the game paused?
no, this is done in real time, i take pictures of the tasks, when i have them all taken for a certain task, i do a alt-tab to get out of
the game while it is still running, go to the sh3 directory, organized the pictures in folders, for the tutorial, then alt tabbed back into the game. all the pics were taken in one game, the game was over days ago. its just the writing now.
I perfer the game still running at x1 but if it is necesarry to pause than so be it I would love to try this out on my own.
rest easy my friend, it can all be done in real time
