Have to divide by 1.85 to match the result given by game speed info (when i enable it)
It works a charm from 45° AOB each side, but have to be not too far away from boat.
Starting chrono from exact bow to exact stern with vertical periscope line is very important.
BTW, i use same technique in SH4 with OTC mod (wich is the only mod who gives boats length in ID manual) and it works as good  |
Yeah, I remember that it's pretty uncertain, but it gives a good approximation. But by the time I quit I got quite good at "guessing" the margin of error and compensating for it. Made for some fun "off the hip" torpedo shoots.
Mind you, my favourite attack was when I went at a convoy "Krestchmer" style: snuck in a convoy during a storm while surfaced, and emptied my tubes at ships all around me. It was glorious.
This was pretty early on, of course.
