Good rules to know Don1reed! The more ways I know to find a solution, the more options I have when I need to calculate one. Not to mention give myself a sanity check if necessary.
Steinbeck, I will make a point to go over the one you have suggested to Jmr before I finish reading the two I have chosen. I have at this point found alot of sites on the slide rules and downloaded a select few PDFs after having perused many. Ought to be fun if I could just stop reading these forums and playing the game long enough to read them
. Fortunately, my in-game targeting has become sufficient enough that when I start practicing with the slide rule again, I will have a good point of reference.
Soon I will get rid of the box on the map (RFB w/o TMO) that marks the target locations. Wihtout that, things will get difficult once again. I use them to calculate AoB, speed, and verify solutions. All three of these things are easy as long as they are present. Even distance isn't terrible to calculate with them.
Measuring distance with the stadimeter (minutes of angle w/SCAF mod) will become critical at that point. SONAR will be my only available sanity check (that I know of) and it will not allways be available (surfaced) or sometimes even an option (DD's) let alone entirely accurate :rotfl:.
The challenge awaits.
Thanks ya'll,
Mr. Sargyano
PS I can tell allready this is going to be a great doc for me Steinbeck.
