The 90 fast thing works great for me.

i track the target for 6 and half minutes, use the two 3.15 marks to come up with speed, input that in the tdc manually. point scope to 0, calculate aob on chart, turn scope to target, take range through scope, quickly crosscheck that with the estimated range from the chart. when happy: check the notepad while only the range is on it, thus ensuring that both aob and speed are taken from the manual input. Los!

for eyeball shots i've come up with around 15 degrees ahead of destroyer bow on fast runners, as much as 30-35 degrees for electrics. that is if the destroyer is in it's turn, presenting her flank at around 1000 meters. i hit some of em under the depthcharge racks by aiming 10 degrees ahead on fast runners.

for some reason, the tdc will not give me correct readouts when i input all data manually for dryruns (without any ships in the area to lock on to)

the tdc will insist the same gyroangle for both 1000 meter and 4000 meter shots, which is just stupid. does the tdc manual range input not work perhaps? on actual attacks, with the range taken through periscope, I usually hit or at least come very close. same for ladder patterns, I hardly ever get those right when I aim just from the F6 screen.

jim: I try not to cheat but it's too hard, lol. I can't help myself when the the camera is there to use. did some single missions late war, for training before I let the Duke get out there for real. I can't stop peeking at those nasty hedgehogs, lol

I sure hope the Duke is gonna make it on his next patrol, which will be full 100%
