Sounds like you might want to follow the KISS principle, which isn't a bad thing and is historically correct anyway.
One good start on that is to get 90 degree angle attacks down pat and then if desired, try something else.
To do so simply parallel track a convoy maintaining a fairly constant distance from the nearest ship and the same speed. Doing so and you already have a targets course and speed without touching a thing.
Draw a line representing the target course, get ahead of the target continuing on that parallel course and when far enough ahead turn into the 90 degree intercept course heading. I.e., say the target is traveling 025 degrees. Simply add (if you're on port side of target) or subtract (if you're on starboard side of target) 90 from that 025 heading and that is the heading you need to go.
Targets can easily be hit from 3500 meters or less. But don't let your boat/scope be seen. 
There's plenty of do this/don't do that I could add but that would only confuse things and make something simple, unnecessarily complex, plus I bet you'd learn fast enough by practicing yourself. Maybe just work on even just getting into position to shoot before worrying about actual targeting. This method has a very easy and accurate targeting method too.
It's the only way I attack. Get inside a convoy and you can easily fire from both bow and stern with it.
What is your mod setup ? Knowing that may lead to get missions to practice with. |
Yeah I'm doing the "KISS" method for several reasons.
1. It's historically accurate to do it that way.
2. It's easiest.
3. Fastest, at least for now until I do figure out how to learn the other methods.
I'm only running TWoS in SH5 but I'm primarily playing and like SH3 better (less bugs = less frustration especially when learning). I have GWX3 Gold version on SH3. I don't have any mods activated for SH3.
I did install the TDC Practice mission for SH3 but haven't played again since i threw it in. I'm not even sure I installed it right, I put the .mis file in the singlemissions folder. I tried the JSGME method the download description says to do but I couldn't find it anywhere in the game doing that.
