Made a new Manual dealing with the same subject but without contacts. Can be seen here.

If you want to use map contacts use the one below.

Been trying to figure out this new TDC and finally found an easy method that works great for long and shot shots. My problem before was trying to gather the correct info quickly, and reliably.
I am using all options engaged except for no map contacts.
As you will see I do not have the perfect firing angle but my torps hit just where I tell them to.
Here is my method.

First I assume you can find a target to kill.... So once I set up I need to start getting info for the TDC to make my shot.

Range. I expand the map window and use the ruler to get an accurate range.


Well that is easy enough now plug that info into the TDC.
Forgot to mention you need to ID the target but that is pretty damn easy with the recog manual so not going into that here.

Secondly I get my AOB.
This is something I struggled real hard to figure out. Eyeballing didnt ever really work out so well.
So use the map tool to get your angle like below.



Just draw a line out to the targets stern and take it forward. Take the angle data and enter it into the TDC.

For speed I just highlight the ship and get its speed that way.
Wish I could get a hotkey for my WO to estimate the speed, but havent figured out how to mod that in yet.
In this SS I am lined up where I am about to shoot right after entering the speed info.


And here is the shot of the hit. As you can see it is very close to where I aimed the torp.


This is not the best way to get the info and line up a shot but i have to think it is probably the easiest. I have been able to get accurate hits as far as 4200y and as close as 700.
Cant wait till we have a working TDC with gauges and dials though.

Hope this info helps people figure out the new TDC.

Any questions feel free to post here.
