Hey Capt_Confoozed, Ive yet to even
try the manual target thing. I'm with you on the "it's a game" attitude. "Game" to me should be synonymous with "fun", and fun, so far, hasn't included complicated TDC stuff.
If I happen to change course while still locked on a faraway target, I'm always amazed at how all those dials on the targeting screen start spinning - and the line changes on the plot screen. I look at all that and say "How am
I supposed to do all that"? Feeling guilty because there are a lot of U-Boat Commanders here that enjoy this aspect of the 'game', I fiddle around with some of the dials to see what happens to the 'aim line'. This confuses me even more and I simply tell myself that I signed on here as the Captain, not the Weapons Officer, Navigator, Engineer, or any other bottom feeder. I tell them what I want done, and they do it. I wanna press the button after they tell me everything is a
go. I want ALL the credit
without ANY of the work (just like in real life...).
So, someday I'll start a career
just so I can try that targeting thing - and not worry about killing my current Ocean Ace.
