S!
Okay, nice tips there...
The raven,
Tater - So how would this 3:00 / 3:15 rule of thumb work with metric system? (I know, US subs used imperial but I can't wrap my mind around that obsolete concept of a measurement system, so... :p )
Thanks, by the way, that seems like a very handy trick for guesstimating speed. I sure hope there's a metric equivalence.

Thanks a lot for such a complete answer. The procedure looks quite similar to how I reach my firing spot, and most plotting tools I already understood how to use, but there's a few points I'll need clarification on...
Right now I'm using chart updates, mostly for the sonar 'needles' (I'm *that* lazy) and for verifying my Firing Solution while I'm learning the tricks of the trade.Angl
1) The nomograph thing I saw in countless screenshots. Thanks for explaining it to me, it's so simple yet so elegant. Does it work allright at 1024x768 res?
2) When you're reaching your interception point (or more acurately, your firing position) you seem to be on the surface and going full flank speed.. Isn't that a bit dangerous at those distances?
3) Angle On (Of?) Bow - So if I understand you well, I should not input the current AOB in relation to my target but the one I estimate it will be
when I'll be activating the PK, right? That would make a lot of sense and, perhaps, spare me the constant revisions... :p
4) The Speed Dial I'll have a lot of problems with... Seems to me there's like two or three wheels and then two slide-in/slide-out contraptions... Which exactly I should fiddle with I dunno.. I'll give it a try and experiment.
5) Sending Heading information. That one is my BIG question mark.. Do you mean that if I take a bearing reading and send it without having used the stadimeter, it will only send bearing and NOT overwrite the manually-entered speed? If so, that's quite interresting.
I'll have a closer look at TM... I left it aside until now because I'm not sure my poor 2.4g/1gb/9600xt setup will cough up his soul trying to render the extra graphics and calculate the extra realism stuff.
Oh, and how do you play 100% difficulty WHILE using chart updates and externals? That's my current setup and that puts me at (or around?) 80%
Thanks again all for those answers.
OH, one last question
6) As I told that my sonar men were quite poor at pinging locations, COULD it be because I'm at career's start and they're just not good enough yet??
