i have posted another silent video of the point and shoot method, by radar. there is no narration, i have tried for three days to make one narrated by me,
but i cant do it,
i guess im microphone shy.
if there is anyone who understands the point and shoot method, and wants to make a narrated video of an attack by radar, your more than welcomed to make one,
dont wait for me, it might never get done. nesgeis, rr, are you up to it?
i have made a mission, to teach the point and shoot radar method, and i have decided that the instuctions for the P+S method, can be radioed in, and following the radio instructions should get anyone interested comfortable
using P+S,R.
i will probably upload that to filefront sometime tomorrow night.

the mission in the film is from my fifth mission in my current campaign, a few days later than the first video i posted.

this one here is an hour long, played in real time, the target was a 22 ship warship task force, composed of at 11 escorts, the rest being capital ships, with fleet oiler and and or repair ship.
4 torpedoes were fired from the bow on bearing 340.5 degrees, and three torpedoes hit the battleship. range at torpedo impact was 2.23 nm, or 4534 yards.
the torpedo firing sequence begins at about the 53rd/54th minute of the film. this attack was conducted purely with radar, but the choice of the target was made with the hydrophones.
speed of the task force was estimated using nisgeis radar range mod, by locking the antenna on one of the contacts, and watching the range readout count down in sequence
before losing contact with that ship, and picking up another one at a different range.
200 yds at 12 seconds gave me 11 kts. bearing to fire was 340.5 degrees, torpedo speed was 31 kts, torpedo depth was 12 feet.

you can compare this attack to one in real life, the uss sealion's sinking of the battleship kongo with two torpedos.
the story is here:

the audio tapes of the sealion of the actual attack conducted by radar here, there are 4 tapes.

tape one:http://www.hnsa.org/sound/sealion/sealionkongo1.htm
tape two:http://www.hnsa.org/sound/sealion/sealionkongo2.htm
tape three:http://www.hnsa.org/sound/sealion/sealionkongo3.htm
tape four:http://www.hnsa.org/sound/sealion/sealionkongo4.htm

theres really no doubt that Captain Eli T. Reich, commanding the sealion, was using the point and shoot technique, on this one.
i kinda like how rr names a tactic after a us captain, so if rr makes a tutorial, and i know he can because he understands the p+s method,
and wants to rename it, i wouldnt mind it being renamed to the Eli T. Reich method.
