Uploading video now. Would you believe a successful daylight surface attack for the first John P Cromwell tutorial video? In a really great thunderstorm? I had to close to 1800 yards to see him at all and shot with the TBT. Although I say in the tutorial that I though I only hit two before the mission ended with target destroyed, on the audio you can clearly hear 4 impacts. In the video you can't see crap in the TBT.:rotfl:
I show how to do a vector analysis, where you can pick the torpedo track angle to the target (45º for the John P Cromwell attack) and draw a scale diagram to find the proper lead angle to aim the periscope.
Then I show how to set up the attack in the TDC by rule of thumb that make the attack very simple to figure in your head without any outside tools whatever.
In the process I explain what the S in S-Boat means, demonstrate how to drive like a drunken sailor and other semi-entertaining behaviors meant to demonstrate that I have no business making tutorial movies of anything. I still have to work on sound levels. 3/4 of the way through the movie the sound comes unsynchronized from the video by about 5 seconds.
Too bad! I've never seen a surfaced daytime attack done before and it stays! We'll make other, clearer movies later. I'm just glad to get this one out of here. I thought I was cursed there for awhile and just want to get away from movie making for a few days.
One hour and six minutes till showtime!
