Sorry guys, Werner has problems with Filefront disconnecting his links periodically. For some reason my alternate links stay up. Doesn't matter, between the two of us Werner's great videos stay available. I personally believe they are more responsible than any mod for improving enjoyment of Silent Hunter 4, and for saving many players who would just have given up in frustration, going on to play (yuk!) Unreal Tournament III (booooooooo! boooooooooo!
) :rotfl:

And the Dick O'Kane tutorial (bring your own torpedo juice):

Thanks Powerthighs for your adaptation to the conventional manual targeting technique. Your instructions are very clear and understandable.
As the O'Kane tutorial says, there is no ONE killer technique. The more wrinkles you can master, the more ships you can sink as you pick the technique that will work best in your particular circumstance. Try different stuff. Don't be afraid to waste some torpedoes. If you're not collecting misses you're not sinking as many ships as you could.
@bybyx: I think a German making a guide for SH4 is a much more powerful statement than a German making a guide for SH3. As a little reading around here will show, there are plenty of American players who won't go near SH3 just because they don't want to play the "Nazis." That is wrong on so many levels I'm not even going to start. Werner's efforts have benefited all of us so much in the playing aspects of the game, but his most powerful statement is
"the war is over! Today we are all winners together as friends." We accomplish much more as friends than as enemies. That is the ultimate victory in World War II, both for the Germans and Japanese: that we as victors did not seek occupation, domination, colonization and enslavement. We gave up the "rights" of our victory for a greater victory for all. In that aspect the United States of America is a country unprecedented in the history of the world. Today some countries see us as foolish and some just don't believe it this could be true, but we have shining examples in Germany and Japan that put the lie to our accusers. There is an application of that lesson today that we won't go into.:hmm:
