Anyway, SH3 and SH4 (SH5 even) have clearly distinct methods of inputting the targeting data, so there isn't a one-way general approach to do it in both sims. Some concepts are the same, as you need to figure out range and bearing, Angle on the Bow (AOB), speed. But each has a different way of getting them in the game. And some are unimportant in one sim, while required for the TDC in the other sim. It really pays to search the individual forum sections of the games.

As a start, start with the Subskippers Bag of Trick thread (link) in the SH4 section for SH4. And for SH3, the GWX 3 manual (direct link) has an appendix in the back with a clear tutorial on the targeting proces. Which is good and valid enough for stock SH3 too, iirc.

Well then....

Thank you anyway. I'll take a good look at those links.
