I`ve tried many different methods, IMO: none of which suits me. Almost had some success on that AOB-Time method of which was earlier made a tabell of, but mostly the enemy is somewhat un-routined in his movements, which keeps getting me loads of misses and minutes of speculating and frustration as I dive away from a furious and angry destroyer of which captain seems to have a fetish at ramming antique subs..
Still, the distance measure thingy in the map is totally weird, you kno, the scale thingy. First step forexample, is 310 meters, second step can be forexample 567 meters.. so I am still left to guess how much distance he travelled at those 3:15.. Plus, 3:15 is a huge waste of time, I can barely get close enough, let alone get accurate readings. Sure I`d like to guesstimate speed and do fancy map drawing.. As soon as I can have just as many hundred hours like the other TDC hardcore`s here has?? My Tactic`s are all based on quick but thought off actions and a quick escape, not a vacation in the enemys backyard..
I got no idea how many misses I have had with torps just because half a knot more or less on the speed.. Let alone, sometimes the TDC is simply just not working, it does not put in the correct speed even if correctly measured and put in, I have to manually raise the speed in the attack map and simply shoot valueable torps based on my gut feeling.. Same problem occurs in SH3, and it seems it all happens just because the enemy ship passes 0 degrees in my periscope?? :S
Donno about realism, but I don`t wanna leave it anyone to decide for me if its fun to use 2 hours clicking on speed comp button like a mad man, dodge planes as if they were bugs on the highway. Only to miss with every single torp on a fat merchant/tanker. Sorry, but that simply just does not cut it for me. May sound like double morale.
So, IMHO: manual tdc? Yes! But to a certain extent! I dont want to sit there and do math`s all day long while a Carrier goes right past my intercept course and get my ass fired just because of something of which should have been corrected a while ago..
S! To all
