I do "Notepad" manual targeting for submerged shots. Surface shot targeting I leave to my 1WO. In any case, I rely on his help always for fast ID of targets.

Except in the worst weather, Notepad targeting is still "lightweight" compared to using markings in the UZO or periscope and a circular slide rule! Accuracy is good enough for shots within 1000 m; beyond that, one must have the numbers spot-on. If your first contact with the enemy is while surfaced, quickly get the vital targeting info, then dive or back off as needed. Target speed rarely changes, and that's often the hardest bit to get right.

Gute Jagd!
