That means that when the U-Boat was turning during the torpedo launch, the longitudinal axis of the torpedo (together with the locked gyro) was turned by the angle tvφt, where φt was the angular speed of the turn, which depended on the U-Boat speed and main rudder deflection.
The TvhRe/S3 was connected to the gyro compass.
The rotational speed was calculated automatically, but could also be entered manually.
The SH3 TDC is a simplification.
For example:
The spread angle is entered as the target width in meters (100-200). In SH3, enter the angle directly.
For Fat and Lut torpedoes there were no adjustments at the TvhRe/S3. These were done directly on the torpedo or on an auxiliary board in the bow space.
