Right on Neal.

That is exactly how I have been checking my solution. If TDC says a bearing, I rotate the periscope to that bearing and send it up. In most cases I adjust the target speed and consider this a last look before firing. AOB can be an estimate if you fire quick after adjustment. Still firing 3 degree spreads but I figure as I get more experience with the US TDC I will be able to trim torpedo usage.

I do believe that the TDC has some bugs though. Target transition seems time consuming on a similar if not exact 2nd target. It seems to me that you must re-enter all data points or the torp goes in the wrong direction. RADAR should also be able to provide semi-accurate ranges as well as SONAR. I am very aware of the time between bearings check for speed but it does not seem to work right in my install.

Convoys seem to run 9 or 11 kts mostly

Is anyone getting a lock up when clicking the Stadimeter? I have had a few. I always have to save before doing that

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SIM! When did Silent Hunter I come out? I have been waiting that long.
