I know it, but I don't like it too much. Because of log scale and lack of fine graduation it is difficult to make fine measurement. And for approximative ones, the speed tables are much faster. Actually I use the discs around periscope ocular -- but still need to test how accurate it can be.
And I found my old notes about 4-bearing method -- so I don't really need these calculators (but they are fun to use).
And thanks for the manual)
Another 2 questions, now about the TDC. Does TDC takes into account the time that torpedo is expulsed from tube and the time needed to turn, or should I estimate this time manually?
The distance dial is there to correct the parallax. Does it updates when I move periscope like other dials? Imagine that I take measurement at 150* and estimated distance of 3 km. Then I want to shoot at 45* and 1.5km. Should I update distance or it would be done automatically? (I've just realized I dont't have degrees mark on keyboard, I will use *, sorry about this).
